AFK
AFK is an acronym for the phrase "away from keyboard". Away from keyboard means, quite literally, that a player is going to be away from their computer and not available for a period of time. This phrase is used when a player will be away for both short and long durations: a player might say "AFK" when they are going to get a drink, or alternatively when they are leaving their computer to visit the shops. Usually, however, it will be used when a player is away for less than 20 minutes as Roblox will disconnect players who aren't active for 20 minutes.

Alias
In Roblox, alias refers to aliases set through the alias feature. The alias feature allows players to set an alias - meaning a nickname - for their friends. Aliases are only visible to those who create them, so if you set an alias for your friend, only you can see that alias. Because of this, it is common for players to ask what aliases their friends have set for them.
Alt
In Roblox, alt is a shortened form of the word "alternate account". An alternate account is another Roblox account that a player uses that isn't a their main account. For example, if a player had two Roblox accounts, the second would be their "alt" account.
Annually
In Roblox, annually means the same as it does in the real word: that something happens once a year. If a subscription to Roblox Premium is charged "annually", that means you pay once a year.
BETA
In Roblox, beta refers to a version of a game, or other object like an asset, that is available to play or use as a trial because it isn't yet fully finished or tested. Games and assets in a "beta" phase are usually free from major bugs but may have small issues that still need to be worked out. A game developer may run a "beta test" of a new game or update to polish features and find bugs.
