July 21, 201313 yr Just wondering........... Do Japanese trials riders have a Gaijin Zap.............. Edited July 21, 201313 yr by billyt
July 21, 201313 yr Author 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.
July 21, 201313 yr 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
July 21, 201313 yr Author 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".

July 22, 201313 yr 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.
July 22, 201313 yr 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
July 22, 201313 yr I apologise, I have used it (the zap version) that I got from the youtube vid. Sorry, didnt mean to offend anyone.
