RFV discussion: April 2016
An anonymous user entered this to refer to a non-human creature in Japanese Manga. I can find no citations that use this term without it being either part of the name of such a non-human Manga creature, or in italics, indicating that it is the Anglicization of a foreign word. Interestingly, as a foreign word, it has several meanings: Kiwima (talk) 23:36, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * In Japanese, it apparently means "non-human" and started out as a pejorative term for foreigners and out-castes. One book said it was coined by reversing the characters in gaijin (foreign devil), which is a better-known pejorative term for foreigners.
 * It has another Japanese meaning as a conch horn.
 * In Chinese, it has a radically different meaning as beloved or respected person.
 * It is also an Anglicization of an Australian aborigine word meaning moon.
 * It had no useable content. Deleted SemperBlotto (talk) 06:39, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
