billyt Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Gaijin (外人?, [ɡaidʑiɴ]) is a Japanese word meaning "non-Japanese", or "alien".[1] The word is composed of two kanji: gai (外?), meaning "outside"; and jin (人?), meaning "person" – thus, the word could also, in some contexts, be translated into English as "outsider". There are similarly composed words to refer to foreign things, most fundamentally gaikoku (外国?, foreign country), but also to various other things such as the common words gaisha (外車?, foreign car), gaika (外貨?, foreign cash), andgaitame (外為?, foreign exchange). The word can refer to nationality, race, or ethnicity, but in Japanese these are generally conflated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I wonder if its racial? Does anyone know who coined the phrase? Personally I think we should call it a "Canuck Zap" from now on, I'm sure it was a Canadian who invented it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyt Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 In North America we go out for "Chinese food" I doubt that Chinese people living in China go out for Chinese food. So I conclude that Japanese trials riders don't do a "Jap Zap". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 A Canadian invented the "Splatter" technique. He only did it once........ If I remember the story correctly there was much happening and it involved a 2 story "2-holer" outhouse. The second story outhouse user was the "Splatter" and the first story outhouse user was the "Splattee"! The Splattee threatened to destroy the Splatter's Zamboni, so the Splatter didn't do it again.

sectionone Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Jap is a racial slur. As a Japanese American with parents who were sent to internment camps during WWII, I'm offended by the word. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwepa Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I apologise, I have used it (the zap version) that I got from the youtube vid. Sorry, didnt mean to offend anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
