Reddit shorthand for 'I Am A,' used as the setup line for an AMA. Originated on r/IAmA, where posters introduce themselves ('IAMA former NASA engineer') before opening the floor to questions. The IAMA is the bio; the AMA is the invitation. The two grew up together and still get mashed into one phrase by old-school Redditors.

“IAMA paramedic who's worked 15 years of night shifts in NYC — AMA.”
