Shounen ("Show - Nen", with a long "o" sound in "show" and an "eh" sound like "men") is a type of manga. "Shounen" means "boy" in Japanese, so "shounen manga" is boy's manga.
Shounen manga is generally action-packed, with a strong male lead. The art style of shounen manga is rougher than say, shoujo, and features bold lines and dark inking. Shounen manga generally contains some form of fighting or action, with maybe romance thrown in as a side story.
Some examples of shounen manga are:
Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa
Bleach by Noriaki Kubo
Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto
Hope that explains everything! :D
