Japanoob  

Originating from a blending of the noun "Japan" and the slang term "noob", Japanoob is someone - usually English or American - who dives head first into Japanese culture and believes that everything is so 'Kawaii!' and addresses their friends as '-chan' or '-san' because English is no longer good enough for them. They emerse themselves in manga, anime, and yaoi, and fully impose their 'interesting' and 'unique' hobby on everyone else in the west. Sometimes they disguise themselves as video game or manga characters, this is called 'cosplay'. They generally fail and are over weight, lonely teenage girls.

Japanoob 

A good Replacement for the somewhat confusing term "Wapanese." Generally speaking, a Japanoob is a person of Non-Japanese descent, though some are partly of that heritage, but all Japanoobs Live and have been raised outside of Japan. Unlike their casual counterparts, who simply enjoy Anime, and occasionally attending Conventions such as Anime Expo, A Japanoob is overbearingly Obsessed with attempting to assimilate into the Japanese culture, and will ultimately Fail. A Japanoob should not be confused with those who actually have true understanding of Japanese culture, as people like that should be respected for succeeding where many fail. Japanoobs will frequently speak in fragmented Japanese, also known as Japanglish. Please note that the foloowing are all symptoms of Japanoobism, but at least four of them must apply for one to be considered a Japanoob.

Nerd neck 

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
