JellyBelly 1 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Someone mentioned this in the camping thread. "Yankee" What exactly does it mean - I mean, the Japanese usage of it? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Scumbag loser with a variation of piss-yellow hair colour who chain-smokes while squatting in front of 7-11. Also, they tend to be rude as ****. Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Know exactly the sort! But why are they tagged as 'yankee'? Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Not sure....but the term is originally from the Kansai region. Definitely needs to be researched.. Those little bozozoku bastids fall into that group.....Stemik's brethren.... Wiki sure takes the fun out of any kind of imaginative speculation these days... Link to post Share on other sites

Haha :lol: There was a "bozozoku" guy taking riding lessons at the same time as me. Of course he kept playing with the throttle while out of gear! Actually one day he asked the instructer if he could have a rest because his hands were cold - wimp! Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Back to the piss-yellow hair. What is with the awful dyed colours? Maybe the back doesn't do well when trying to get it lighter or something? There's a dude lives round here and his hair is like this bright orange colour. Quite funny really.

Chriselle 158 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 It's just a styling thing. Back when I had my van I talked with a group of these owners at a highway parking area and had a close look at the fiberglass work. All of that area to the rear is not very structurally sound and not strong enough to take any weight. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Looks like they could take part in a fabulously lovely street parade with things going on on the 'back stage'. Like a Disney princess, or naked chicks or something. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 All of that area to the rear is not very structurally sound and not strong enough to take any weight. Ah, in that case, perhaps my above idea is not realistic. BUT. If they really wished to take part in a fabulously lovely street parade with things going on on the 'back stage', they could perhaps find a way to make it more structurally sounds... so that it could support a Disney princess, or naked chicks or something.
