Afam

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."
