AWOL means absent with out leave. It is used in the military to describe soldiers who have left their post, base, job without having permission to do so.
For example, a soldier who just decided they were sick of the Army just packs up his stuff and heads home without telling anyone. He would be considered AWOL.
AWOL is also used to describe things which are missing... like your remote control, a few of the socks in the laundry room, and the key to your old apartment.

It originally meant "Absent WithOut Leave", which is when a person doesn't get permission to leave their army unit before going home. My college I attend has an improvisation group called "Actors WithOut Lines", which many in the drama club abbreviate to the same letters.
