also A.F.A.M.\r\n\r\n(noun) \r\n\r\nSlang: foreigner. \r\n\r\nThis 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."\r\n\r\nAs more of the foreigners explored the rest of the country, so did the word. \n> "Tip the waiter well, a lot of afams eat here, and they tip well."\n
