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.

Ironic Weeaboo 

An obnoxious person that claims to ironically be a "weeaboo" because he's insecure about liking Japanese media.

The ironic weeaboo usually only "likes" anime and that are considered novel and low-depth like Maidragon, Monster Musume and Love Live or entry level such as Kill la Kill, Evangelion, and Jojo. The same goes for his Japanese game tastes which usually consists of equally surface-y series such as Neptunia, Senran Kagura, and Danganronpa of which most of the time he'll never actually play and will only claim so due to, again, it's novelty and "Japanese-ness"; The most the ironic weeaboo will ever actually "play" a game are pay-to-win mobages featuring fapbait girls such as Granblue Fantasy and Fate/Grand Order as it's easier to get into by just throwing hundreds of dollars at the screen than putting the investment in an actual, in-depth game as that would make them too "cringey" and "weird".

The ironic weeaboo is also quite fond of forced loosely anime-derived fads such as Earth-chan, Smug Wendy's, "Traps aren't gay", vaporwave, etc. and tired out phrases that have lost their meaning entirely like "waifu" and "thicc".

When the ironic weeaboo brings himself among the people that actually are actual fans of Japanese media he will immediately be hated which then the ironic weeaboo will become immensely butthurt. Thus he'll usually only ever be around other ironic weeaboos instead. You can mostly see them writhing about in Discord servers with anime girl avatars.

weeaboo song 

This is a song written from the perspective of a weeaboo (a person who denounces their own culture in favor of the Japanese culture), and incorporates lots of brutal honesty in summarizing the true day-to-day life of 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.
Weeaboo's basically disrespect the culture and make complete asses of themselves

Shortened as "weeb".

A person foreign to Japan (mainly westerners) who develops an extreme obsession to "Japan", believing it to be identical to its anime depiction.

Note: Anime fans or self-referred otakus are not weeaboos

doorwall 

A door wall is a sliding-glass door or patio door. The term is yet another example of banal Michigan vernacular, where in the residents latch on to company names, trademark names, marketing terms and product names from local companies. The terms become embedded in the local vocabulary and eventually become accepted as actual valid words and phrases. In this case the term comes from Wallside Windows in Taylor, MI (a large window manufacturer), where 'door wall' is their created word for sliding-glass door.

Frothability 

The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, driving property prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
