1) A generic term for the realms in the far south of Middle Earth, roughly corresponding to Africa in relation to Europe. Harad is of unknown size, was not mapped by JRR Tolkien and features little in the books. The only location mentioned is Umbar, a city in northwestern Harad from which pirates known as Corsairs attack the coasts of Gondor; in the book Unfinished Tales, Tolkien hints that Istari (wizards) other than the famous five resided in Harad, including a Wizard by the name of Tu. The Haradrim (people of Harad) fought with Sauron in the War of the Ring, although it is unclear whether they were tricked; also known as Southrons (although in some renditions, such as the PC version of the War in Middle Earth game, Haradrim and Southrons are separate people). In the third Lord of the Rings film, the Haradrim appear at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields heavily armoured, in vaguely Middle Eastern-looking costumes. In battle, the Haradrim are best-known for their use of Mumakil or Oliphaunts, which are elephants or elephant-like monsters native to Harad.
A search on Google Images reveals that many Tolkien fans and RPG players have drawn maps of Harad, but that these never correspond to one another, with the result that innumerable versions of Harad now exist, each with its own specifications of kingdoms, peoples etc. There are two Harad extension packs for the official (non-computer) Tolkien RPG, although they are only available second-hand.
The name "Harad" is an Elvish word for "south". The area is also known as the Haradwaith ("South-folk").
2) an actual region of Sweden. (I found this out while searching Google Images for Harad).

The hosts of Harad rode forth to battle against the beleaguered forces of Gondor, foully hewing their way into the Gondorian ranks. (not a quote; this is me imitating Tolkien-speak).

Get the Harad mug."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.The post apocalyptic event that involves Eurasian kids who will gather up and rise up against their white supremacist fathers with Asian tiger mothers, who are also known as 'fetish couples' or WMAF's for short... Mainly famous for the hapa forums on Reddit, sons and daughters of WMAF pairings will constantly bash and humiliate their hateful, racist, insecure, mentally ill, brainwashed, abusive parents online...... but when given the chance they will band together and protest on the streets, annoying other WMAF fetish couples, who will eventually break up and fear the power of the Eurasian tigers...
Eurasian: See those white supremacist men with their Asian tiger wives getting constantly bashed and humiliated on the streets, this my friends is the sign of the 'hapacalypse'!

He always had a haphazard style one had never seen him make a plan.
This was it. She was finally going to exact her long-overdue revenge, a la Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. The threat was proved to be imaginary, however, when Taylor turned to a haphazard pile of vegetables.
The location of the examples in the sections is a bit haphazard as the section started to grow beyond my previous navigation options.
