This means half-Japanese. This term is often used lovingly as a cute yet brief self-description. Though it does not disclose the other half of their ethnicity, it's more endearing than mutt. It's important to realize that its a Japanese-American term with the emphasis on being American. The internment camps didn't care how little Japanese or young someone was, they were all considered "threats to our national security." Over 110,000 Japanese were locked up on the west coast during WWII, and many of them left to valiantly fight the war for the country that spited their family. Let no one ever tarnish or forget what they went through while still American citizens. They've paid a deeper price to be accepted as Americans than nearly any other group besides African-Americans. Please do not use this term unkindly as it's not what it means and makes you sound like an idiot.

probably some bigot white boy couldn't deal with a kid on his street being half japanese and half white. now a generic term for someone who's half asian and half white.
a person of asian heritage gets it on with a person of english heritage. their child is a hopa. surprising example: zack morris from saved by the bell. more noticeable example: lead singer of hoobastank and keanu reeves.

Variant spelling of HPOA, an acronym for Hot Piece Of Ass. Made popular by a girl with a white dry erase board.
Origin dates back to Mid 2010. A prank on the internet.

Broken acronym for "Hot Piece Of Ass", coined as part of a forced effort to create a viral web meme. Attentive readers not suffering from dyslexia will notice that this actually is an acronym for "Hot Of Piece Ass".
That's just sloppy.

Bob: "Seriously? You're actually using someone else's made up and poorly thought out acronym for this? As if there aren't enough ways to refer to an attractive woman already? for God's sake go to urbandictionary and get out of my sight.
