The "politcaly" correct form of black. Not at all correct though considering black people who were born in America and have never been to Africa nor have family they actually know, are not African-American. Just American. It is also incorrect in the sense that blacks can come from places BESIDES Africa, like Jamacia. If it's politically correct to call blacks African-American, why not call whites European-American?

Female gender of African decent. Easily identifiable with the naked eye and ear. Occasionally wears large golden hoop earrings and extremely overpriced name-brand t-shirts that are too tight. Air Jordan shoes and Baby Phat jeans are a major trait among said females, which inevitably leads to 10th grade school fights after school, usually on Fridays since Fridays sometimes offer $10 "free dress day" specials in which said females and their fellow students have the option of not wearing their school uniform apparel.

You know the water that's left in the toilet after you take a huge dump that's still brown and needs a second flush? Yeah, that's African Water.
Dude 1- Hey, who didn't flush the toilet?
Dude 2- I was the last to use the bathroom, but I flushed.
Dude 1- Well check next time, you had some African Water left.

African American is the current politically correct way to say black person. This came to be the current correct way of saying it like this... about 400 years ago niggers were brought from Africa to work in America as slaves. At some point they got the right to vote and we had to call them "blacks" instead of niggers. And now they have money so we have to call them Afican American.
"They caught the african american who stole my wallet, he used my Visa to buy a pack of newports at the store next to his grandmothers house."
