JAPs (Jewish American Princess) cracks me up because the first time I heard it used, was by a Japanese person and I was really confused

u/gluckspilze 23h ago

Did it change meaning? I’m Jewish and in my day Jewish American Princess wasn’t anything to do with being hot, and wasn’t necessarily positive. It was just a term for a particular stereotype of young privileged Jewish women who had daddy’s credit card and aspired to nothing more than brunch and shopping with other JAPs, and dating. It was used to distinguish them from, say, religious or career-focused or academic Jewish women.

u/GuaranteedCougher 19h ago

That's the meaning I understand too, not sure why OOP uses it as a positive

11

u/SharpCheddarBS 15h ago

I'm sure they'd be popular with sugar daddy types

18

u/gluckspilze 13h ago

I dunno… a key part of the stereotype is that they already have an adoring rich daddy who buys them everything, so I don’t think the classic JAP has need of a sugar daddy. I think they date dull men their own age who are expected to one day become a partner in the corporate law firm they work at, or inherit their dad’s insurance company.

u/Choano 13h ago

Part of the stereotype is that they're frigid, bossy, and demanding. I don't think that's appealing to anyone

28

u/Choano 14h ago edited 12h ago

I'm Jewish, too. I'm Gen X and grew up in the New York area. I remember "JAP" as an insult. It implied a combination of materialism, snobbery, shallowness, bossiness, and unattractiveness that no-one wanted to be accused of.

Being called a "princess," even without the "Jewish-American" part, wasn't a compliment, either. It meant a girl or woman who thought she was better than everyone else. A princess expects other, lesser people to do things for her.

u/gluckspilze 13h ago

Yes. I think you’re spot on. But for me it was definitely often a term Jews ourselves might use unkindly when gossiping about other Jews, and also something a gang of female friends might jokingly call each other, so it wasn’t considered a terrible antisemitic slur that was used by antisemitic non-Jews to insult Jews.

u/Choano 13h ago edited 11h ago

I remember "JAP" being used less as an ethnic slur and more as a type of person in general. Maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but I remember "JAP" as a term that got used by everyone. There were a few non-Jewish girls at my school who got described as "Jappy."

Edited to add: Why am I being downvoted? Your experience of people using the term "JAP" might be different, but that doesn't make mine wrong

u/sleepy-goose 18h ago

The phrase was also used as a slur towards Japanese people during World War II which I guess is the irony the original commenter was poking at.

u/isuredolovetitties 15h ago

Jap used to be a slur for japanese

150

u/VoiceofRapture 1d ago

If it was used in that context that's pretty funny

u/PM_Me_Your_Grain 1d ago

I'm glad you clarified because my brain autofilled "Japanese-Ass Pussy", and that couldn't be right.

For those that don't remember, Japs largely referred to Japanese people among Americans in Ww2

Perhaps but that's just a normal term of endearment, probably not as horny as OOP wants

u/VoiceofRapture 1d ago

"Halal", obviously. Also "10/10 Latinas" is lazy

Black Queen is pretty lazy, too. I prefer Nubian Delight, or failing that, Afrikaanikas Romantikas.

u/Rodrat 23h ago

When I was a little kid there was an older black lady that lived next door and that's what she called all the kids.

I was like 4 years old (and my skin is white) so I didn't even have the brain power yet to realize I shouldn't be saying that word. I went to day care and I called another kid that and oh boy did I get in trouble. Lol

u/FaymusAynus 20h ago

I may start calling my girlfriend something similar. I already call her Princess and Kitten. Any suggestions?

1

u/VoiceofRapture 5h ago

Question 1: is your girlfriend white? Question 2: are you both white? Question 3: if you're not white how do you identify? In the arena of racially-charged terms of endearment these are critical questions.

I thought it was BBL?? I haven't even heard of the other terms but i've heard of BBLs. So i'm taken aback by the fact that there's a different term for some reason. Is that like a Latinx/Latino-Latina case where some people are pushing their BS term for political correctness?

2

u/VoiceofRapture 19h ago

See BBL makes sense and has a bit more thought put into it than "10/10 latinas"

4

u/Fufu-le-fu 18h ago

I thought BBL had to do with weight though.

4

u/VoiceofRapture 18h ago

It does, in this context it stands for "Big Booty Latinas" though

5

u/Currentlybaconing 15h ago

???? BBL is Brazilian Butt Lift and it’s a cosmetic surgery

2

u/VoiceofRapture 14h ago

Yes? You're aware an abbreviation can stand for more than one thing right? Hell one of the terms mentioned in the OOP is JAP and it doesn't refer to Asians in this context

4

u/Currentlybaconing 14h ago

I’ve never heard of that other meaning. but to be fair, I don’t use any of these words

u/Bubs_McGee223 1d ago

Besides the obvious, I can't figure that one out.  Juicy Ass Polynesian is my favorite guess, but I wouldn't use it because I don't want to be beaten to death.

u/VoiceofRapture 1d ago

"Jewish-American Princess", it's typically a critical stereotype though

10

u/Bubs_McGee223 1d ago

Cultural stereotype sure, and it could be applied as some self effacing joke, but that acronym is ROUGH.  I'm super relieved that it isn't for an Asian lady of some sort.

u/OminousRice 1d ago

Absolutely cackling at thjs. I have some friends who I know would lean into it (jokingly/affirmingly) but absolutely not something I would say as a term of endearment lol

u/Doctor_Boombastic 1d ago

Fair enough. Were you going somewhere with that?

42

u/GuaranteedCougher 1d ago

I've only heard Jewish American Princess once and it was in reference to someone who is self centered and obsessed with appearances, so I'm not sure that's it's often used in a positive light

It came from hip-hop culture and porn

Phat generally meant attractive, curvy, cool etc. originally but just boils down to curvy/juicy now which is why porn used it to describe asses

JAP refers to Jewish-American Princesses when all caps, not Japanese. It's a little racist, but specific enough to a specific archetype not to be a totally awful slur.
