From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
aa
n 1: a dry form of lava resembling clinkers
2: an international organization that provides a support group
for persons trying to overcome alcoholism [syn: {Alcoholics
Anonymous}, {AA}]

I gather it comes from the onomatopoeia of the sound you make stepping
on that kind of lava. In English, I'd spell the sound AH! AH!
You seem to have really put your foot in it.
