- 1對日本人的極冒犯蔑稱(禁用)
This is a very ugly hate word for a Japanese person. Do not say it. Do not write it to be funny. In English it is among the worst things you can call someone from Japan. It is a , hostile of Japanese, used as a noun (a person) and as an adjective (Jap food, a Jap soldier) since the late 1800s. It got much louder in war talk, especially in the United States and Britain around the Second World War, and it is still a slur now — not a “historical word” that has gone soft. You may also see it stretched as a verb for a sudden attack; that use grew out of the same insult, and it is not a clean extra meaning. If you find it in an old film, a comic, a headline, or a family story from the war, you need to know it is there to shrink and hurt. If you must talk about it, say “a hate word for Japanese people”. The ordinary, respectful words are Japanese and Japan.
組成A clipping of Japanese. Attested as a noun since 1872 and as an adjective since 1878. Nip is a parallel hate-shortening from Nipponese, not a piece of this word.
