Senpai

In Japan, senpai (先輩) is a mentor or senior. "Senpai" is roughly equivalent to the Western concept of a mentor, though it does not imply as strong a relationship as these words mean in the West, and the term is used more widely and with greater "give" then the western equivalent term. More simply, it can be translated as "Senior" or "Elder"

Senpai

Pronounced sen - pie. Also known as Sempai.
A Japanese term used to address someone higher than you politely. E.g. if you are in 4th grade, then anyone in 5th grade or higher is you senpai.
The previous definition is a reference to animated game, Yandere (Yaan - dah - reh) Simulator.

Senpai just finished his/her HSC (higher school certificate), I hope I'll do well when i take my HSC in a few years time.

Senpai

Something that all anime weebs, nerds, and "otaku's", call every freakin person they know.
Usually said in a unusual annoying high pitched voice. Can cause brain damage from hearing it too much.

Senpai

A Japanese honorific. It means "upperclassman," "senior," or the like. It has been appropriated for use in America and the West to mean "obsession" by weaboos. They use this word to attract their Tumblr/DeviantArt/etc. crushes or art seniors to give them art tips or recognition when perhaps they didn't deserve it.

Girl 1: *thinking* I really like this person. But they won't talk to me.
Girl 1: *typing* ArkhamGeek1 is my senpai! I couldn't do art like I do without them!
Girl 1: *thinking* With that on my blog page, they'll see how much I like them.
Girl 2: "Hey, Girl 1, using that word like that is appropriation."
Girl 1: "What do you mean? Of course not!"
Girl 2: "But you don't even speak Japanese..."
