gaijin

If you call someone "Wapanese" & mean it as an insult, they will call you a "gaijin" & mean it as an insult.

When used by non-citizens in Japan or anyone not in Japan, it's an insult meaning "uncultrued dumbass" rather than "foreigner."
1)"Some gaijin is going to be staying with us for awhile."

2)<as an insult> "He's such a gaijin! That imbread hick thinks his town is the whole world & that his way is the only way."

amerime

Concidered a blasphemy against anime by otaku, amerime & it's french-canadian counterpart kanadime incorprate a highly unskilled attempt to resemble anime.
Kappa Mikey & Avatar the Last Air Bender are perfect ecamples of amerime. Teen Titans is marginally disqualified for actually being made in asia.

Boys Love

Commonly just BL is the replacement for Shounenai. Americans seem to have difficulty telling the difference, so here it is.

SA: The men are always effeminate both in appearence & personality, gay men didn't like it much, & unhappy endings were common. Contrary to perhaps even my own previous postings, this art is not COMPLETELY dead, some shounenai slips through the press. If it's new & fots this description, it's still shounenai.

BL: These days the men are more masculine both in looks & tude, gay men like it too, it's usually less dramatic, more sexual, & tends to end happily.
Shounenai: Ibu no Musukotachi, Kaze to Ki no Uta, & anything else from the 70s & early 80s.

Boyslove: Ai no Kusabi, BNSH, Gravitation, Fake, Ja-Dou, Psycho Blast.

Border line: Anything that lived through both periods. For example, Patalirro, Zetsuai, & Eroica are STILL being written & have made distinct changes to fit the times.

Parasite single

A parasite Single is someone who is single, no plans for marriage any time soon, not dating, still living with parents. Most parasingles don't quit this lifestyle until their late 30s, early 40s.
The term started in Japan, comming from a 1997 Japanese horror movie Parasite Eve & backed up by best-seller book by Masahiro Yamada in 1999.
