"Half" in the Hawaiian language. Originally used to describe someone who was half-Hawaiian but came to more prominently refer to someone who's half-Asian or Pacific Islander. Increasingly used to describe people who are of any racial mix, but this is still generally misunderstood as referring to a half-Asian; also, increasingly used to describe people who are of a partial Asian ancestry, e.g three quarters non-Asian, one quarter Asian. However, the term is fairly recent, and many hapas would not necessarily know that you are referring to them if you were to describe them as hapa.
Some hapas have tried to claim that the use of the term is equivilant to nigga in the black community, i.e. that one hapa can refer to another as hapa and it is good, but a non-hapa cannot, and it would be insulting. Most other hapas think these people are retards and are just happy to have something that isn't as patronizing as halfie or halvsie and easier to say than half-Chinese/Japanese/Korean/whatever.

"If Magnus Karlsson and Yuki Fujiwara have a kid together, it'll be hapa."
"My dad is Chinese and my mom is black, and so I'm hapa."
"Did you know that Karen is a hapa? I had no idea, but I guess I can see it now."

Get the hapa mug.Term originated in the UK and came to prominence in the 1960's, initially to describe a pimp. In Spanish it means "prince" and could have either been referring to the fancy, over-the-top clothing and jewelry popular with pimps, or because he was surrounded by a harem of women, involved in the underworld, but usually not the actual "king" of the area (he had to pay tribute to use the block or neighborhood).
Now it is generally used to refer to someone (usually a male) who dresses in nicer clothing and acts in a polished fashion; often interchangable with fag or pussy, but not necessarily as derogatory: a ponce is not necessarily homosexual, nor are they necessarily passive or weak, but they would tend to be thought of as metrosexual or gay in their manner of dress.
In the US it also takes a bit of a tone for a poser or wannabe, primarily in the punk, ska, or artsy scenes.

Get the ponce mug.Originating from the title of a song by Boston psychopath/frontman GG Allin that was, in fact, actually about being last in line for a gang bang. The term is somewhat uncommon, but occasionally used by people in the New England hardcore and punk scenes, where it refers to someone who is late to a trend (or late to drop it), unaware of big news or changes, or generally clueless. It can be used against oneself or a friend in a comically self-depricating fashion, or against someone as an insult.
"What? You guys are gonna meet at O'Malley's in fifteen minutes? Fuck, I had no idea... I'm always last in line for the gang bang."
"No one told you that the show was cancelled? Shit, dude, you're always last in line for the gang bang, I swear."
"Of course you're still wearing a Papa Roach shirt. You're always last in line for the gang bang, you retard."

Get the last in line for the gang bang mug.The torrid result of when a woman has eaten a fast-food burger saturated in grease and laden with ketchup, onions, mayo, and cheese. After she's digested the food, the resultant odor eminating from her vagina could quite possibly kill the frail or infirm, though it may also induce hunger and a desire to locate the nearest McDonald's in some people.
"Dude, I was making out with her in my Z28 when all of a sudden I was like 'oh shit, did I drop a burger in here last night or something?' Then I realized it was burger cooch."
"I went to go down on her, but as soon as I got those pants off it was like I was face-to-face with a rancid fucking burger. She had burger cooch, man. Oh, jeez, everything still smells like onions to me..."

Get the burger cooch mug.A fourth generation VW/Audi chassis that makes the basis for the 1999-2005 Jetta, Golf, and Beetle; also, makes the basis for the Audi TT and first generation Audi A3/S3. A4 is the chassis code for the fourth generation of the "A" type of VWAG's cars.
Usually used among VW fans to differentiate different generations of the Golf and Jetta. A4's were thought of as pretty cool to the masses, but VW fanboys who can't afford them decry them for being too heavy, even though they were faster than previous generation VW's.
This can be really confusing; the Audi A4 is built on a B5 chassis (the same as the 1998-2005 Passat).
Also referred to as a Mk4.
