      Short for avatar, which used to be the name for profile pictures

      .avi was a video file format like .mpg back in the day when we had to download our porn one file at a time, slowly. Though in this instance I’m assuming it’s a fucking stupid shorthand for “avatar.”

      Audio-video interleave, an early video container that sucked because you couldn’t play it unless it was complete, making it unfit for streaming. The only use I can think of nowadays is to generate an NTSC MPEG-2 file that even early DVD+USB players will play, for testing composite video equipment.

      I think that’s a typo but otherwise it’s a file format
