Urban Dictionary
noun
A non-Japanese person who takes admiration for Japan to an obsessive, delusional, and disrespectful level. A weeaboo doesn’t just enjoy anime or manga — they treat Japan as the greatest country on Earth while insulting their own culture and traditions.
Weeaboos often think watching a few anime makes them fluent in Japanese, dropping random words like “kawaii desu” or “senpaiii” without context. They exaggerate cosplay into something unhealthy, sometimes confusing anime costumes with traditional culture, and blur the line between fiction and reality.
The issue isn’t liking Japan — it’s fetishizing it. By worshiping Japan as flawless, weeaboos reduce a complex culture into shallow stereotypes and even objectify Japanese people as “anime characters.” Instead of admiration, this obsession comes off as cringe and insulting.
NOTE: Enjoying anime, Japanese games, food, or studying the culture does not make you a weeaboo. You cross the line when you:
Claim Japan is better than every country just for anime/manga.
Trash your own nation’s culture.
Use broken Japanese for clout.
Treat anime as everyday Japanese life.
Fetishize or stereotype Japanese people.

“Bro watched two episodes of Naruto and now he’s saying ‘konnichiwa, senpai’ at McDonald’s. That’s some straight weeaboo behavior.”
“She said Japan is perfect and her own country is trash, while wearing a $5 cosplay wig in public. Classic weeaboo.”
“Liking Demon Slayer doesn’t make you a weeaboo. Screaming ‘Nezuko-chan uwu’ at strangers definitely does.”
“This dude thinks anime high schools are how Japan really is. Somebody save him from being a weeaboo.”
“You can enjoy sushi without being a weeaboo. You become a weeaboo when you say sushi is the only food worth eating because it’s Japanese.”
“My cousin studied Japanese history and culture respectfully — not a weeaboo. My other cousin painted his face to look like an anime character and said he’s renouncing his passport — total weeaboo.”

Get the Zavage mug.An offshoot of baseball played in parks on basketball or tennis courts, or in big gymnasiums. It’s a game for kids who cannot afford to play proper sports that require some type of fee to join. It’s played either by running the bases or automatics. It gets its name from combining wiffle and tennis since the ball of choice is usually a tennis ball. It’s unlike stickball where a smooth gas ball and an actual stick are used. It can be played a multiple of ways. It can be fast-pitch against a wall with a box that is the strikezone, and usually one on one or two on two. In this scenario, it is usually automatics. The bat is a standard wiffle ball bat with the knob cut off and newspaper is stuffed into it to give it some weight. Then, electrical tape is wrapped around the barrel of the bat, and sometimes a tape knob is made. Ground rules are dictated by setting. See definition of automatics. When you can fill a whole team on a court, you run the bases, and it’s usually bounce pitch, so as to avoid chasing balls when there is no wall behind you. Since the pitch comes in as a meatball, you cannot hit them out of the park, that’s usually an automatic 3 outs. You need to swing with control. Hitting the fence on a line drive is usually a homerun. Number of players varies, as do the rules depending on the number of players.
Kid 1: Hey, are we playing wiffis down at Buchmuller Park?
Kid 2: bases or automatics?
Kid 1: it’s just the two of us numb-nuts, automatics of course!
