Oh no that is dweeb blasphemy. Never ever question or even dare to criticize any little thing concerning the alleged awesomeness of all things Japanese.

  I suppose you meant weeb(not "dweeb"), which is short for weeaboo[0], which in turn is short for wapanese, which, finally, is short for "wannabe Japanese". [0] Originally used in an unrelated comic strip here: https://pbfcomics.com/comics/weeaboo/ https://pbfcomics.com/comics/weeaboo/

    Dweeb is an actual slang word that predates weeaboo by several decades.

      Yes, but weeb makes a lot more sense in this context. It's not a weird suggestion here IMO.

        I meant "Dweeb". "Weeb" is just a subcategory of it.

          > "Weeb" is just a subcategory of it. I wouldn't say so, no. Dweeb is a pretty wide insult, but it still implies things that aren't part of what "weeb" means.

          As far as I know the two aren't connected (outside of the spelling overlap), but if you like it this way that's fine.

            both describe losers is a connection

      It doesn't appear to have roots with tied to Japanese culture though: https://www.etymonline.com/word/dweeb https://www.etymonline.com/word/dweeb

        Dweeb = general term for a nerd / loser / opposite of "jock". Weeb = a dweeb whose particular interest is Japan
