"Colleges being nothing but grooming schools for the middleclass non-identity which usually finds its perfect expression on the outskirts of the campus in rows of well-to-do houses with lawns and television sets in each living room with everybody looking at the same thing and thinking the same thing at the same time while the Japhies of the world go prowling in the wilderness..." --The Dharma Bums

A biblical name, Japheth stems from a special place, which results in being a special boy; young male. Japheth is bright and smart, charming, and loves playing 2k17. You'll catch Japheth playing ball or playin bitches, but when he's showed loyalty and love by a female he gives them his all. He's funny and loves to laugh, doesn't like to admit it but he's a cuddly type guy. He's brave and strong even though he's most likely really skinny. On the more inappropriate side, Japheth is a monster in bed, the best at head, and will fuck you into dehydration. Get you a Japheth, he'all treat you AND dick you down right!!! Japheth only cuffs bad bitches btw, he might fuck a few ugly ones cause they're ezpz, but he only dates cute girls, so if you're dating a Japheth you sexy af.
That guy Japheths girlfriends a dime!
You seen that dude Japheth? He's so good at basketball.
Japheths got a nice peen. Mhmmm.

Graceful, charming. Good wife and mother. Altruistic. Looks a lot like Audrey Hepburn.
Japhia would stop to help someone in need, but bash their face in if they were hurting someone else.

From Jack Kerouac's book "The Dharma Bums" a Japhy is an enlightened poet and mountain man. A Japhy is considered by itself or others to be a true Bodhisattva.
"The middleclass non-identity which usually finds its perfect expression on the outskirts of the campus in rows of well-to-do houses with lawns and television sets is each living room with everybody looking at the same thing and thinking the same thing at the same time while the Japhies of the world go prowling in the wilderness to hear the voice crying in the wilderness, to find the ecstasy of the stars, to find the dark mysterious secret of the origin of faceless wonderless crapulous civilization." ~Chapter 6 of Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac

Chad climbed to Dharamsala to meet the Dalai Lama and then decided to wander around the California mountains writing poetry and munching on granola. That Bodhisattva sometimes hitchhikes from coast to coast, he's a real Dharma Bum, a real Japhy!
