Why would they yell Missing in Action to their friend as he's leaving? That doesn't make sense.....

missing in action, but the street slang might be different.

M.I.A. means missing in action. Why the person on I love New York would say it, is beyond me. Guess that goes to prove that not all people on television are educated. Thank you.

MIA = Missing In Action. Its the same term that is applied to soldiers who go into combat but never return.
It is similar to AWOL = Absent Without Leave
EDIT-------
Why? It implies that he is entering combat and they won't know for sure until he comes back.

Missing In Action
Edit:
If he's leaving, and his friends don't know where he's going, he would be considered "going MIA"
