A descriptor used to indicate that something is a bullshit knockoff of a part of Japanese culture. Can include poorly drawn anime, weeaboos, bad cosplay, and so forth. When in reference to a person, it should be followed by 'bitch', regardless of gender. When in reference to a thing, it should be followed by 'shit'.
Originates from the DESU meme, which involves spamming forums with the word 'desu' over and over again.

Get the Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka? mug.Or です in Hiragana. Desu is the polite form of the copula in Japanese linguistics. This translates out to "to be" or "is". It's usually used at the end of a sentence as the predicate, or is used to make a sentence sound more polite. The plain/casual form for this is "da", or だ. Sentences that use the copula usually take on the form of "A is B" type sentences, although it can take on other moods depending on the grammatical particles that accompany it.
Unfortunately, the copula has been bastardized and misused too often by people who don't know anything about Japanese. If you want to sound like a complete fucktard, use desu at the end of your sentences while speaking in English, or use it excessively at the end of every sentence, even when the sentence doesn't require it to be used.

Nano (なの) is a "sentence-ender", something that people use to give their words more life when talking. Generally, nano is used by females to beautify their sentences.
Some ships that use nano include Haruna and Iku (I-19).
Desu (です) is a more formal sentence-ender that can be used by anyone. Typically, statements will end with desu, although it is usually not needed and people will use other sentence-enders to fit the situation, such as a verb-masu.
