Weaboo

« Back to Glossary Index

A weaboo is an internet slang term used to describe someone who is overly obsessed with Japanese culture. They often try to adopt Japanese habits and traditions, speak Japanese words, and sometimes even pretend to be Japanese themselves. Weaboos usually have a lack of understanding or appreciation for the actual culture and tend to focus only on the stereotypes or superficial aspects.

Example 1:
A: Have you seen Sarah’s obsession with anime and everything Japanese? It’s getting out of hand.
B: Yeah, she’s such a weaboo. She thinks she’s an expert on Japan just because she watches anime all day.

Example 2:
X: Did you hear about that guy who dyed his hair blue and speaks broken Japanese just to try and fit in?
Y: Oh, you mean the weaboo who thinks he’s living in an anime? Yeah, it’s hard to take him seriously.
