A Japanese abbreviation for "YAmanashi, Ochinashi, Iminashi" which translates to "without climax, without resolution, without meaning," and by the Japanese definition refers to unofficial comic books (doujinshi) that support a non-official, homosexual (male/male) couple and are very explicit.
In English terms, however, the word is much more broad and can refer to anything with any homosexual(only male/male) or boy's love themes in anime and manga, sometimes even expanding to non-anime/manga works, but often in connection with fanfiction.
It is important to note that although the word 'homosexual' has been mentioned quite a bit in this definition, much of Japanese yaoi manga, as with most BL (boy's love) manga, cannot truly be considered homosexual content. This is because the men/boys in the comic, although often clearly represented in a relationship together (usually physical in nature), are in fact not homosexual, but show a deep romantic connection only to the one man they are portrayed as in love with. (Although this is not ALWAYS the case.)

Get the yaoimug. Yaoi (YAH-OH-EE): 'Yaoi' is a Japanese term meaning 'boy sex,' or sex between two males. It is largely seen in various Anime, Manga, and fanwork, and has become a rather flexible term. It is usually mistaken for Shounen-Ai, or 'boy love'.
"What, 'Gravitation'? I heard that comic book is all yaoi..."
"There's some great yaoi fanfics on this site, check it out!"
Etcetera...

Get the Yaoimug. Real Yaoi is purely sex; Shitty ass yaoi, which fangirls often get confused of the two, is when they cuddle or simply kiss.
No, there's no point or plot to yaoi-It's porn it doesnt have to have a point. Think about it, does the porn you look up on the internet really have a really deep complex plot behind it? No, it's porn! Get it through your thick ass skull! It's pooooorn!! Guy on Guy!
