African-American

1. A person, born on the continent of Africa, who becomes a naturalized citizen of the United States of America.
2. The most commonly misused word, (albeit one deemed politically correct by people afraid to use the words "black" or "colored") describing the black population of the United States of America.

While Taneisha thought she was African-American, she was born right here in Lower Alabama.

A way to make people realize their situation is not as important as they think, or would like to think. Especially handy when dealing with math teachers.

Mrs Garrison: you haven't turned in your math homework!
Student: There are starving children in Africa!
Mrs Garrison: That is so true...wow, that really lets me see my life through another perspective. I give you an A!
Student: Thank you, starving children in Africa!

Joe: I guess it that makes him an African-American.
