gaijin

in j-panese, the word means, literally, “outside person.” in j-panese it’s spelled 外人. it is often used as a contraction of sorts for gaikokujin (“outside-country person”), meaning forienger. in its contracted form it can be an insult, but in recent years has been watered down by widespread use in and out of j-pan. in actual usage, a better definition would be “non-j-panese” since j-panese people will use it in reference to non-j-panese even when they themselves are the foriegners in a country other than j-pan.
