A mispronunciation of the word Opulence by Rupauls Drag Race Season 11 contestant, MercedesIman Diamond during the first of the seasons acting challenges
Generally believed to be a portmanteau of "oba", Japanese for middle-aged woman, and "batarian", from "Battalion", the Japanese title for the film "Return of the Living Dead". Japanese obatarian behave in a manner not unlike flesh-eating zombies. The obatarian is selfish and unwilling to abide by or is oblivious of socially acceptable behavior. A typical obatarian is short, stout, wears a perm, and is dressed unfashionably (house slippers optional); she will elbow her way through crowds, refuses to wait in line, run for empty bus/train seats, is loud and loves sales. Some academics believe that the propensity for young Japanese women to transform into obatarian is the cause of Japan's declining birth rate.
A 66-year-old obatarian was arrested for assaulting a high school student who was occupying a priority seat on the bus.
A mix of the words 'relax' and 'Opal'. Used for when Opal Crankshaft relaxes on the couch when she's stressed out or seems sick. She once told her grandson, Nelson, she was our of sorts, but he didn't know what she meant.
Opal: I'm all out of sorts today. This is crazy. I think it's time to Opalax.
Myrtle: What do you mean? Opalax? Now, I know about relaxing. I used to be a massage therapist, you know?
Opal: It's a mix of the words 'relax' with my name. I use it when I stretch out on the couch. You know how us old women are!
Myrtle: That's wild. I never heard of it before. In Aiwa Beach, Hawaii where I'm from we never even think of Opalaxing. We do pineapple massage down there.
Opal: (shocked) Pineapple massage? Myrtle, what are you talking about?
Myrtle: Come on, sweetheart. Just try it. It'll relax you more than you ever thought. (takes crushed pineapple and starts rubbing it on Opal)
Opal: Oh yeah, this is creamy. I'm all Opalaxed now!
