Kowai, written 怖い (bet you can't do that HA!) is an adjective of Japanese nature. It means "scary", and weebs in particular use it.
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH KAWAII (かわいい). These two words are almost literally pronounced the same, but have different meanings.

Kowai / Kawaii sound the same but have different meanings.
Kawaii - Japanese word for cute
Kowai - Japanese word for scary
Never mix up these two words unless you want a real ass whooping.
