Abbreviation for "African-American" that saves time in conversation and when writing text. The AfAm lady gave a speech on why all AfAms should be proud of the AfAm label. "AfAms," she declared, "Your family might have been here for 400 years, but I have built my academic career as an AfAm academic in an AfAm Studies Department on the idea that we are not real Americans, but hyphentated AfAms."

also A.F.A.M.
(noun) Slang: foreigner. This term rose to popular use when strip club dancers in Metro Manila started to abbreviate what they called the foreigners who came to watch them dance; each one was "A Foreigner Assigned in Manila." As more of the foreigners explored the rest of the country, so did the word. "Tip the waiter well, a lot of afams eat here, and they tip well."
