ALR Examples

To get to the bottom of ALR meaning, I personally recommend reading these examples that leave no place for doubt.

ALR Example 01

Here two friends are chatting about an upcoming event on Snapchat. See how ALR is used to give consent or agreement. 

Mac – Hey, Roger! I think it takes us around 45 minutes to reach the venue, so what about leaving the home by 7?

Maggie – Hey Samuel, I’m ALR. It has been a long time since we talked.

Samuel – Yup!

Here Maggie has written ALR in response to Samuel’s question, which means that she is fine and doing well.

ALR Example 03

Sometimes ALR can also be used to ask questions. Just like in this exemplary conversation when two friends are talking, after one is discharged from the hospital. 

David – Julie, R u ALR?

Julie – Yes, I’m ALR. Feeling better than before.

In the above example, Julie was hospitalized. David was asking about her well-being in response to which Julie replies, ALR.

ALR Example 04

In this example, ALR will mean A Little Respect. This text is an extract of a conversation between a loving couple, wherein the man trying to persuade his lady.

Louis – Sweetie, I’m sorry. ILU. I will do whatever you say.

Jamie – More than the love I need and deserve ALR.

Here Jamie wants to say that she wants respect from her husband and hence response ALR. Here ALR doesn’t mean Alright and this can be clearly understood from the given context.

ALR Example 05

This is not a conversation but a public post on Instagram. Here an Instagram user is posting to demand respect for street vendors.

Here is what he is writing:

“In super stores and malls, we call them very respectfully, then why not local street vendors? They also deserve some respect.

#streetvendors  #alr

Here in the above public Instagram post, the user wants to fetch the reader’s attention to the fact that street vendors should deserve respect. And so he adds #alr. Here ALR means ‘A Little Respect’.

ALR Example 06

One more example is here where ALR is stated as a replacement for the word ‘Ok’. As compared to OK, ALR is more influential and relevant to the context.

Justin – Greg, can you please stop sending me lame memes? 

Greg – ALR, don’t get angry. I will not.

Here Greg is using ALR instead of ‘Ok’ to calm down the angry Justin. So here we can conclude that ALR is a synonym for Ok.
