Obamatarian 

An avid supporter of our President, Barack Obama. Someone who is consistently up-to-speed on all things Obama in the news and can debate (and win) against any "McCainiac" they may encounter.
My roommate is such an Obamatarian that she can recite anything CNN or any other news channel may have said about Obama 5 minutes ago. She practically knows his whole life history.

Generally believed to be a portmanteau of "oba", Japanese for middle-aged woman, and "batarian", from "Battalion", the Japanese title for the film "Return of the Living Dead". Japanese obatarian behave in a manner not unlike flesh-eating zombies. The obatarian is selfish and unwilling to abide by or is oblivious of socially acceptable behavior. A typical obatarian is short, stout, wears a perm, and is dressed unfashionably (house slippers optional); she will elbow her way through crowds, refuses to wait in line, run for empty bus/train seats, is loud and loves sales. Some academics believe that the propensity for young Japanese women to transform into obatarian is the cause of Japan's declining birth rate.
A 66-year-old obatarian was arrested for assaulting a high school student who was occupying a priority seat on the bus.

The pejorative obatarian is a pun between the Japanese word "obasan" (or old lady) and the English word "battalion".

The implication is that she is as polite and patient as a battalion of soldiers. Also, to a Japanese the term sounds like the name of an Anime superhero, whose energy the old hag possesses.

The previous definition was obviously written by someone whose knowledge of Japanese is limited to the word sushi. It's entirely wrong. And it's not true all Japanese words begin with a wovel. How about sushi?
True obatarians always enter a train running as fast as they can, trying to catch a free seat before the others.

(obsolete) Japanese children's slang circa 1990 for a pushy, rude, bad-tempered old (or middle-aged) woman.

From "oba" - grandmother, and "-tarian" - sounding like the kind of name an anime would give to a Godzilla-like creature.
Kyaa, hidoi obatarian jann!
Some foul-looking obatarian shoved me off the train.

Japanese idiom taken from the American movie "Battalion" (all Japanese words start with a vowel = "o", then sound out battalion without the L's); term used for little old ladies that use their elbows to work their way through a crowded place.
At the fish market, the obatarians relentlessly push their way through the crowd to the front of the line.

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
