Furorida, or furo ni hairu kara ridatsu suru (風呂に入るから離脱する) is a phrase that means, "I’m going to take a bath so I can’t message for a while." In Japanese furorida is also used for the state of Florida in the U.S., so it's easy to confuse. It’s hard to imagine when you would ever have to use this phrase, but maybe if you’re in a heated conversation with some friends in a group chat you might want to let them know that you’ll be gone for a bit.
