Is a portmanteau of the words "Wannabe" and "Japanese"
Specifically a White American Anime, or Japanese culture fan, though the definition has been expanded in recent years to include anyone of Western culture(no matter the race) who get hard ons for Japanese culture.
Weeaboos often want to be Japanese and hate Western culture in favor of Japanese, which often most have never even really experience irl, just from Anime. It's more of a phenomenon in gen y due to the fact that they came up in the anime boom, kick started primarily by Toonami, and hyper Japanese gaming of the mid 90s with Playstation.
They are often Anime addicted, and spend tons of money(or their parents money) on anime merchandise, including cosplay, whole DVD boxsets(imported a lot of the times) plushes, and and bad anime video games. They are often pretentious about it(the hardcore ones at least) and think that American animation is crap, not mature, or only uses "crude" art, ignoring the fact that there is nothing mature or realistic about most anime.
Most of the guy weeaboos think they're some kind of romantics, often swooning over anime girls and having no grip on reality because they think anime love is real, and coin themselves as "nice guys" that can't get girls because they're often on the friend line.

Ezra: Hey Steve, do you want to join anime club?
Steve: Nah man, it's full of pretentious weeaboos who look down on you if you like dubbed anime.

Weeaboos We-ah-boo are not Asian people who try to be Asian. They have obsessions like: Yaoi, Yuri, Hentai, and Anime and they try to look asian by wearing loli costumes and wigs. If they are students, they join Anime clubs and act like anime characters who are perverts. Weeaboos are usually girls because of their love of yaoi. They also have horrible cosplay and don't take anime seriously. You could see your nearest Weaaboos in your Yaoi Section of any Book Store across the world. NO, OTAKUS ARE DIFFERENT FROM WEEABOOS.

Weeaboos are generally people who are non-japenese, but convince themselves everyday that they are and are heavily addicted to anime. Weeaboos or weebs do not shower for weeks on end and you can easily spot them if they have died their hair, smell them for miles away, and make anime refrences. They watch a form of anime porn called Hentai. They do not have real lives, and they do not interact with their body pillows. You can also spot them at comicon, anime conventioms, and comic stores. Warning: do not attempt to be friends with a weeaboo.

A person who retains an unhealthy obsession with Japan and Japanese culture, typically ignoring or even shunning their own racial and cultural identity. Many weeaboos talk in butchered Japanese with the 8 or so words they know (i.e. kawaii, desu, ni chan). While weeaboos claim to love and support Japanese culture, counter intuitively, they tend to stereotype Japanese culture by how it appears in their favorite anime, which can be safely assumed to be offensive to the Japanese.
If you love and respect Japanese culture and your own, you are not a weeaboo.
Merely liking anime or wanting to learn Japanese does not make you a weeaboo.

A non japanese person who basically denounces their own culture and calls themselves japanese. They try to learn japanese through the anime they watch and usually end up pronouncing it wrong and looking like a complete idiot.
KEEP IN MIND: that a non-japanese person can like the culture, watch anime, speak the language and RESPECT THE CULTURE, while still keeping in touch with there own. Which keeps them from being a Weeaboo, japanophile, ect.

A weeaboo is a non-Japanese person who is obsessed with Japanese culture. They frequently denounce their own culture, and speak frequently about Japanese culture being superior to others in various ways. Although a weeaboo does not HAVE to be an anime fan, they almost always are. Keep in mind that one can watch anime, and really enjoy it, speak Japanese, and like Japanese culture WITHOUT being a weeaboo, as long as they do not WORSHIP Japanese culture, and abandon or denounce their own.
Weeaboo symptoms include: Having a katana collection, owning an anime body pillow/waifu, denouncing your own culture, and wearing traditional Japanese clothing.
