Weeaboo---Noun.

A weeaboo is a person who is normally obsessed with the Anime / Manga / Japanese culture.
Basically an extreme version of an Otaku.
Nearly all weeaboos are looked down upon, even if they shouldn't.
Some can be overly obsessed and annoying. (Ones that talk about anime all the time.)
Others can be kind and not so annoying, but still obsessed with Japanese things.

Some people associate them with homosexuals/gays/faggots, but most aren't homosexual.
Weeaboos commonly try as hard as they can to be like a Japanese person.
IE: Speak Japanese, Do Japanese Things, Eat Japanese Food, etc.
Weeaboo: *practicing and failing Japanese* UGH I CAN'T GET THIS WORD RIGHT *raging in Japanese* I'll just go listen to some anime music. *says curse word in Japanese*

One, stereotypically American, who obsesses over the Japanese culture. This is usually thanks to the recent trend of dubbing/translating anime/manga and bringing it to the new culture.

Typically, a Weeaboo will abuse the word "kawaii" to ridiculous levels, and other Japanese words will be completely mangled. Another trend is to obsess over every possible nook and cranny of a given manga, usually one translated by Monthly Shonen Jump, yet will, again, use "oro?" when told of another series, with this new series having much more redeeming values in the way of art, writing, characters, etc. Try it- ask any Narutard what Neon Genesis Evangelion is.

This is not to be confused with someone who can tell you who Akechi Mitsuhide is or one who simply appreciates and enjoys popular Japanese (the line is slightly blurred with Otaku, though they're not quite the same). In a nutshell, these are shortsighted, obsessive "noobs," key phrase Over the Top.

Compare and contrast people who do nothing but say "FAIL" all day.

A tag that only desperate people who have no real life skills try to obtain. Not only is it used by the other common means, most types of 'Weeaboo' are really only in it for the title. Egotistical and pathological, these people obsess over any little thing they can, not just Anime or Japanese Culture. They will go out of their way just to be the 'best' at something, as they cannot do anything close to that in real life. Weeaboos throw others like them under the bus, and they fight themselves over the quality of content they watch. If you have two people who argue that one show is better than another, they are most likely a Weeaboo. Another thing I've come to realize in years of research, is that not only do they fight other Weeaboos, but they fantasize about being at the top. The ultra-weeb if you will. They will use anything, including their own friends, to do just that. They seek acceptance and have a hard-on for anything they can preach as good content.

In whole though, be very careful who you choose to be friends with. If anyone goes ":3", "o3o", "oWo", or "-w-" or overglorifies anything they watch, say and do, they are most likely suffering from a mental illness and should really consider getting help.
I am just such a Weeaboo, just Look at my collection of Japanese Figures I had imported here! I have all 3 seasons in their entirety both in the manga and on Bluray.

Someone who thinks Japan is superior over EVERYTHING. Not in reference to someone who likes to watch some anime, reads some manga, eats some teriyaki once or twice a month, etc. The main difference is that a Weeaboo doesn't care about the culture, where a non-weeaboo (I don't know the term, and I don't want to use otaku which is, in fact, a derogatory term) does. A weeaboo speaks Wapanese (i.e. Kawaii neko!! Can I hug your neko-chan?). However they are not to be confused with someone who is still learning Japanese. A weeaboo will obsess over no more that ten anime/manga and then claim to know EVERYTHING there is to know about Japan. They base the majority of their knowledge, if not all of it, of Japan on really bad anime. Not decent ones like Pretear or Suzumiya Haruhi. Shit ones like DBZ.
(In a Japanese clothing store)
Weeaboo: OMGOMGOMG!!!! This is exactly like the yukata Konakona wore in Lucky Star!!! Kawaiiiiiiiiii~!

Ordinary person who appreciates Japan: Hmm, I like this outfit. How much is it?
a non-japanese person obsessed with japanese comics/cartoons called anime/manga
here are examples:

1.they commomly only care about anime/manga like for example if a different country invented anime/manga they would be worshiping that country.

2.they use the following japanese words:
(also commonly said wrong and mocking)
-desu (doesnt really have a exactranslation but used as is or mine at end of a sentence)
-kawaii (means cute)
-baka(stupid)

3.in extreme cases a slight insult of anime/manga causes them to overeact and resorts to violence and cussing

unfortunatly this has developed a group of haters called antiweeaboos that sometimes overeact
like if someone reads manga and anime alot yet it isnt there world they would be classified as one

personally being japanese-american I really find weeaboos annoying and i feel offended around them sometimes
yet not all weaboos are horrible people some are just kind,missunderstood,and yes a overboard crazyfans
(this excludes 40 year olds with no life and people that hate everyone that hates anime aka mean weeaboos)
so i feel neutral on the subject.
"U SUX IMA OTAKU NOT A WEEABOO!!"
