Ff外 Meaning?
3.6BRAINROT SCOREFF外 Short for a relationship in which two accounts do not follow each other (FF from "follow/follower"), used mainly on X and Instagram. Most often seen in the set phrase FF外から失礼します ("excuse me for writing from outside your follow circle"), put in front of a reply to someone one does not follow. This entry is the bare label.
Origin:FF is the clipping of フォロー and フォロワー (follow, follower), and 外 means "outside". Weblio describes FF外 as a slang term for accounts that are not mutual follows, used mostly in the polite prefix phrase to acknowledge an unexpected message to a stranger. Some see the phrase as considerate; others find it unnecessary or mock it as an online habit. A dated first use is not documented. The existing entry FF外から失礼します covers the full phrase; this entry covers FF外 itself, which is also used to mean an unfollowed account or a reply from a non-follower.
