Note: when I asked this question, the afol tag was also on What does the acronym MOC stand for?. – Dori Oct 26 '11 at 10:03
AFOL stands for "Adult Fan Of LEGO".
From an unofficial LEGO acronym glossary:
AFOL
Adult Fan of LEGO. The most common term used to refer to LEGO fans who are adults. Generally pronounced to rhyme with “hay-foal”.
Or from Brickipedia's glossary (also unofficial):
AFOL - Adult Fan Of LEGO

1I'd say that it was a case of incorrect tag use - perhaps the OP considers themselves an AFOL, and tagged it as such? – Zhaph - Ben Duguid♦ Oct 26 '11 at 9:02
