Abs is short for abdomen muscles, or stomach muscles. They are strengthened through sit-ups.

Abdominal muscles


The abdominal muscles are located between the ribs and the pelvis on the front of the body. The four abdominal muscle groups combine to completely cover the internal organs.

The abdominal muscles support the trunk, allow movement, and hold organs in place by regulating internal abdominal pressure. Common conditions of these muscles include strains and hernia. Consult with your doctor, physiotherapist or sports physician for proper diagnosis and treatment of abdominal muscle injuries.

Abdominal muscles explained
The four main abdominal muscles are:

Transversus abdominus – the deepest muscle layer. Its main roles are to stabilise the trunk and maintain internal abdominal pressure.
Rectus abdominus – slung between the ribs and the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis. This muscle has the characteristic bumps or bulges, when contracting, that are commonly called ‘the six pack’. The main function of the rectus abdominus is to move the body between the ribcage and the pelvis.
External oblique muscles – these are on each side of the rectus abdominus. The external oblique muscles allow the trunk to twist, but to the opposite side of whichever external oblique is contracting. For example, the right external oblique contracts to turn the body to the left.
Internal oblique muscles – these flank the rectus abdominus, and are located just inside the hip-bones. They operate in the opposite way to the external oblique muscles. For example, twisting the trunk to the left requires the left hand side internal oblique and the right hand side external oblique to contract together.

If you have a medicine ball (it looks like a basketball, except it's heavy. you can buy them at walmart), a great exercise that will give you killer abs is to lie in situp position with the ball in your hands, arms extended toward the ceiling. Keeping the ball up, raise your upper back off of the floor, like you are doing a crunch. Pretend that you are trying to touch the ball straight up to the ceiling. Hold it for a second and come back down. Do three sets of ten.
Another good one for your obliques, with the med ball, is to hold the ball in your hands while in upright situp position. The ball should be in your lap. Alternate touching the ball on the floor to the left of you, then to the right of you.
Since your other questions seem to be in English, I'm going to assume that you were asking about what makes your abs look mean, rather than what abs mean.

Your abs are your 'gut", your abdominal region, your tummy.
