Adjective. Pronounced: 'Ee-th-are'. Arabic variation of the root 'aithein' - to burn, shine.
Current use has it to denote 'a fierce, strident character'; evolved from Arabic myths of an Odyssean hero who, in order to gain rare knowledge of the song of the Sirens, was tied to the mast of his ship during a terrible storm, during which the crewmen, who were born deaf, were able to hear frequent and faint screams of "COMMON YOU FUCKING CUNTS!" and "Show me your KRAV MAGA!"

Get the Ethnic walls mug.A crummy scumbag who is so lonely and so utterly depressing he desires not a girlfriend, but a fuck-buddy. Said Ethan has a hard time keeping things long term and uses depressing methods to bring you in. When presented with an argument, he tends to bring moot points into play that either have no relevance to the conversation, make no sense whatsoever, or sounds like a feminist wrote it down a spoke it to a large audience. When the Ethan Hoff is brung into to a conversation of friends, he tends to ruin it with depressing shit or saying, and I quote, "YEA BOIIIIIII".
Friends: "Man, Braxton is cool and all, but sometimes he can be annoying
The Ethan Hoff: 'WHAT THE HELL MAN!!?? JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE LIKES SOMEONE ELSE DOES NOT MEAN THAT-..."
Friends: "Okay, we're gonna stop you right there Ethan Hoff."
The Ethan Hoff: "MAKING JOKES ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AREN'T...!"
Friends: "SILENCE!"
