I have a buddy that still uses his AOL account, proudly.

This pretty much makes it impossible for me to be seen in public with him
The weird thing is, he’s not a RAC, he just looks like one.

For those who don't speak teen, what's a "RAC?"

It has meaning in football, but I don't think that's what he's referring to?

Beats me. What does the football term mean? Teen speak: the mentality that the way kids talk when texting each other, is actually how the English language works. Everything in acronyms. See 'laziness.'

RAC in football is run after catch which leads to YAC or yards after catch.
