JAPANESE
apparently this has become a place to
diss the japanese which, speaking as an english-japanese, is quite funny actually as obviously some of you are incredibly ignorant and have probably never been to
japan in your life. It is an awesome country which has an amazing unique culture like every other country in the world...and yes, that includes China and
Korea. It has very beautiful
temples, yummy food, quirky gadgets that make you re-think the japaneses'
sanity and some very cool people...some japanese people are reserved, but sometimes, once you get them to open their shell they can be as fun and crazy as yourself. However most are not overly affectionate and seem to think it’s necessary to say ‘please’ and thank you’ as many times as possible. Some adore manga and anime, drinking sake,
karaoke bars etc. The Japanese are proud of their country, but haven’t they a right to be? I think many work way too hard, but I guess it hasn't really harmed them as they have made
Japan one wicked place to go and visit. In all, it’s difficult to quite
sum up a Japanese person without mentioning their culture...it seems to go
hand in hand.

The Japanese people (nihonjin,
nipponjin) are the dominant ethnic group of Japan Worldwide, approximately 130 million people are of Japanese descent; of these, approximately 127 million are residents of Japan. People of Japanese ancestry who live in other countries are referred to as
nikkeijin. The term "Japanese people" may also be used in some contexts to refer to a locus of ethnic groups including the Yamato people,
Ainu people, and Ryukyuans.

Something that is from Japan, i.e. people, products, language, whatever.
Abroad from Japan, Japanese people can be easily distinguished by the camera they ALWAYS wear around the neck. They appear mostly in
clusters taking pictures of some old
unimportant buildings some travellers' guide told them about.
Japanese products are also easily distinguishable, as they are ALWAYS technologically superior to the equivalent product in your own country. Especially Japanese toilets are the shit! XD
The Japanese language is
kewl as well and comes with sub-titles most of the time. They pretend not to have the letter 'L', but actually speak the letter 'R' like an 'L', so that in the end they suck at pronouncing the letter 'R'.
Example:
Non-Japanese dude: Meet my dog! He's great, but it's annoying when he barks and chases cats.
Japanese dude: I programmed my rittre dog to ignore non-human creatures and not to bark at
arr.
Non-Japanese dude: O_o
Non-Japanese dude: WTF?! Why isn't here any
toilet-paper?
Japanese dude: You don't need toiret-paper, the toiret creans your ass automaticarry.
Non-Jap: SWEET!!
Non-Jap: Hey, wanna play with me some games on my
brand-new PS2?
Japanese: My PS946 > your PS2
Non-Jap: Ahh, fuck off!

A technique used to assist competition speed-eaters to consume large quantities of food in very a short space of time.
Mostly found where bread products are used eg. Burgers, Hot-Dogs and consists of the competitor dipping the said food item briefly into
a cup of water (must be present for
health and safety reasons) before swallowing either without chewing or very little.
This moistens
the bread and avoids "dry-congealing" of the bread in the throat.
Example:
"I
prefer to use
Japanesing... some people like it, some dont... it helps me though and I'm the state
champion!

People or objects that originates from Japan.
...and if that definition gets a
thumb down, it’s probably because you are racist against them; usually for no reason other than your unwillingness to accept their
economical success (or envy in some cases), hatred from what they have done in the past when you yourself are ignorant about what many other countries have done to Japan and other countries (I am not saying what Japan did in the past isn't wrong, but seriously, don’t base your opinions on tales of some drunk before actually checking its
reliability from a good source), and trying to look cool by
trashing the Japanese produced entertainment (such as animes or Video Games) without ever experiencing them or knowing that there are more to Japan’s culture than what you see in stores and
TVs (Venturing into the outside world or researching helps), that is called being shallow.

Relating to Japan, it’s culture, or it’s people.
(You don’t need to read this if you don’t want to.)
As a Japanese person I feel very offended or upset when people only think of Japan, or anywhere in Asia, as a place where cute things reside. Yes we have anime and “kawaii (可愛い)” things, but that’s only two things out of many things that make us special. (Of course you can like anime.) Every culture is very unique and important. They have many different things that are interesting. Such as history. Japan has done some bad things yes, but so has every culture. And you shouldn’t
hold that against them. I get very happy when people want to know more about Japan and Taiwan because it shows me that they are very interested in my culture. And to those of you who do,
thank you very much, I appreciate it very much. どうもありがとうございました This is just something I want to get off my chest, and I’m
terribly sorry if I’ve offended anyone.

A race
discriminated by morons who know nothing of it's great history and advances in technology, and are often stereotyped by bad things they have done in the past and things they currently do now, like hentai and... Other things.
The Japanese are also much better than the fatass Americans who tend to eat McDonalds and laugh at the asians for having tiny eyes.
Well maybe you fatasses have fricken
huge eyes? Think on that for a while.
They are well known for
mass production of anime and manga, both of which are awesome, but read by wannabe fatasses from America and Spanish who feel the need to translate our awesome books into their gay languages instead of making their own shit to read. Idiots.
