Formally, average refers to one of two measures of a data set:
The data sets mean: sum all the items in the data set and divide by the number of items summed. If three children have heights of 2 feet, 3 feet, and 5 feet, then their mean height is 3 and 1/3 feet.
Imagine an extra-long yardstick. Now lets say we hang bowling balls of equal weight from the yardstick at the 2-foot mark, the 3-foot mark, and the 5-foot mark. Assuming the bowling balls dont all slide off, the yardstick should balance if its held near the 3 and 1/3 foot mark. This is a general observation about the mean that might be helpful if youre wondering what to think of it.
The data sets median, or its middle item. If three children have heights of 2 feet, 3 feet, and 5 feet, then their median height is 3 feet. Statisticians disagree on how the median is defined with respect to a data set with an even number of elements.
Its really quite unfortunate the way average has come to mean two things. I strongly recommend the use of mean or median if you know what the fuck youre talking about.
Informally, the word average is even more misused. I can accept sentences like The average adult watches 4.5 hours of television a day, even though theyre technically incorrect--a little rhetorical flourish is fine. But the commonly accepted meaning of average is certainly not just under par, as some Urban Dictionary users seem to use it.

Average. (Adjective)
As an adjective it describes something that is in no way superior or inferior to the rest of its kind.

When describing something as average we often mean it performed its purpose but with no perks.

Average. (Noun)
As a noun an average is a statisical measurement. In short, an average is the most common thing in a group. In a group of animals for instance, the most common animal might be birds.
