- This was first used by my friend at University of Houston. Like Yellow Fever, a word describing the love for Asian girls, Jungle Fever describes the love for African American Girls. This term was actually taken from a movie that dates back to 1991 about an Italian women falling in love with an African American man. However, people mostly attribute this word toward males loving African American females.
