Abbreviation for American University, A school of highly affluent, overly intellectual, and often-times pretentious students. It is not uncommon to be sitting in an AU classroom and have a prince, the daughter of a Fortune 500 CEO, and an ambassador's son within a 4-foot radius.
American University is world-renowned for its top-rated School of International Studies.
AU is a shorter way of saying alternate universe, quite often used in fanfiction. Normally the writer takes a famous person and makes them non-famous, or 'normal'
I just read an AU that is about, Dan bullingPhil and it ending with them falling in love!
The word 'Au' Originally comes from the Maori Languge (of New Zealand) meaning 'friend' or something similair.
It's used at the end of any/every scentance to round it off...usually used by "New ZealandGangsta's"
