Nihongo Nazi 

Chat room trolls who, despite the fact that they are in english speaking forums, insist on using the japanese names of everything. Frequently found in anime forums, claiming that the true and ONLY name of Full Metal Alchemist is actually Hagane no Renkinjutsushi, for example, even though it is quite the mouthful for non japanese speakers.
Nihongo Nazi: WTF noob, it's Hagane no Renkinjutsushi, not FMA. Baka! You just called KaubĂ´i bibappu, cowboy bebop... man what a lamer.
Reader: What a nihongo nazi.

nihongopniks

Non-asian people who know or learn Japanese only to be able to participate in the culture. Usually non-professional or hoping to get a job related to Japanese (translator, teacher, etc). See also: Weeaboo (but usually has more cultural and language knowledge than a typical one).
Don't come to the Languages Building, some nihongopniks are always using the tables to play Mahjong.
