Desu
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.

1. Japanese for 'it is.' Often used at the end of sentences.
2. A huge 4chan meme that
sorta went on to other sites.
Suiseiseki, a character from the anime/manga
Rozen Maiden, are nearly always mentioned. It usually is in motivational posters with Suiseiseki.

The one word that every real Japanese person will
go insane if you keep on saying it to them, mainly standing for 'it is' to go at the end of a sentence became a big meme of annoying
weaboo or otaku. If you're wondering why it goes at the end of the sentence it's because in Japanese sentences are formed differently.
It is said in a
motivational Poster that if you keep on typing Desu, you will turn Japanese, people believed that, and that's now what you will constantly hear from people who want to prove they're Japanese, also see kawaii for another annoying weaboo term.

A Japanese
copula, or word used to
grammatically link a subject and
predicate.
It can be translated as "It is the case that -" or "It is for the reason that -". However, there is no English equivalent.
Alot of people use it at the end of sentences just to be cute.

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.
Example:
Jesus Christ, those fucking desu desu bitches in the room next to mine are STILL watching
Death Note at 4 am.
Candy's drawing of a Yu-Gi-Oh orgy was some desu desu shit. I can't believe she handed it in for
art class.

A word that bears different meanings when used by those familiar with the Japanese language from those who speak not a lick of Japanese yet want to seem like they know what they're talking about, AKA your
garden-variety weeaboo.
When used by an actual Japanese speaker, it roughly translates to "it is" and is an
integral part of Japanese grammar. When used by your average weeaboo, it roughly translates to "I am a stupid American faggot who has no idea what the fuck they're talking about."
