1. A common Japanese girl's name meaning 'lily.'
2. Language spoken in the islands of New Guinea and the Amazon.
3. A genre of sexually explicit anime/manga literally meaning Girls Love. It is a Japanese jargon term for content and a genre involving love between women in manga, anime, and related Japanese media. Yuri can focus either on the sexual or the emotional aspects of the relationship, the latter sometimes being called shōjo-ai by western fans.
The themes yuri deals with have their roots in the Japanese lesbian literature of early twentieth century, with pieces such as Yaneura no Nishojo by Nobuko Yoshiya. Nevertheless, it is not until the 1970s that lesbian-themed works began to appear in manga, by the hand of artists such as Ryoko Yamagishi and Riyoko Ikeda. The 1990s brought new trends in manga and anime, as well as in dōjinshi productions, along with more acceptance for this kind of content. In 2003 the first manga magazine specifically dedicated to yuri was launched under the name Yuri Shimai, followed by its revival Comic Yuri Hime, launched after the former was discontinued in 2004.

James Rolfe/James Rolf. The name is often shortened by the AVGN or even The Nerd. He is formally known as the Angry Nintendo Nerd. He plays the most shittest games in mankind and uses the most absurd amount of profanity. He loves (surprisingly) the Contra series and the Street Fighter series. He reviews shitty games, and only shitty games, and may even get to the point where he shits on the cartridge/and/or destroys it in a way. The theme song is played by an amazing guitarist named Kyle Justin.

Irate Gamer, or IG for short, is a complete rip-off of the AVGN. IG uses profanity, destroys video games, and used some of AVGN's jokes. Plus, the pair reviews bad games too, but IG reviews good games, too. Still, the IG is a rip-off of the AVGN.
Person 1: Hey, you wanna watch the Indiana Jones video by Irate Gamer again?
Person 2: No thanks! I'd rather dip my head in a bowl of poo!

A Mapler is usually one who is addicted to the MMORPG Maple Story and plays it often. It was first used because Nexon used the term. It's often first said with a private server, for one who uses private servers a lot. Maplers often have something to really show their obsession over Maple Story, like having a plushie, or having a drawing of yourself in Maple Story form.
