Anime is a form of animation that basically is made in Japan. The word anime is the Japanese take on the word animation. Initially stylized following manga, which are Japanese graphic novels. Shows like Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, and Ruroni Kenshin are all examples of anime,
Anime characters are usually drawn with bold features, more so than American animated characters. This is because Japanese animators like the more bold features of people in the western world. Anime also tends to be more realistic in art than American animation. The also deal with more mature themes often.
Some anime fans would like to argue that anime's are not cartoons, which they are, and the word animation has nothing to do with anime, when anime is actually a take on the word animation. Anime is the word commonly used in America for Japanese cartoons, and in actuality if it's animated and comes from Japan it is an anime, no matter if it fits the popular conception of anime or not. In Japan something like Rugrats would be considered anime due to the fact that it is in fact an animated cartoon. Anime is only a word to describe animation, used by the Japanese.

Get the Animemug. The official game console of Generation Y. Behind the Wii in sales but above the PS3 in sales, making it the 2nd place console of the 7th gen of consoles. The 360 was released in 2005, and since then everyone and their mother has one of these damn things even if they don't have games for it.
It's a pretty good console, despite the Red Ring Of Death or RRoD and the fact the Microsoft charges you to even touch the button to power on the damn thing. The controller is great, and the online community is large and active but is nothing but a place for asshole 13 year olds and bro-dudes to spread their racist homophobic shit.
It's also the stoners console of choice, and where 3rd party games sell the best.

Get the Xbox 360mug. A fashion line that doesn't have shit to do with hipsters. Ed Hardy clothes are worn almost exclusively by college frat boy douchebags, Guidos, and other steroid addicted muscle heads who think they are the shit, hardcore and Ed Hardy supposedly reflects this for them. Also worn by the over-tanned girlfriends of douchebags.
No one in their right mine but scumbags and douchebags would wear Ed Hardy, since it's the tackiest thing to come along in 'fashion' since Bape

Get the Ed Hardymug. U Jelly is a phrase/meme used on forums, most commonly 4chan, to ask a person if they are jealous. It's usually accompanied by a picture of a guy with a smug smirk, with 'U Jelly?" Over his head.
It's used to ask forum goers are they jealous, because someone on the forum has something that others don't have, and they want to show it off, to make other people Jelly.

Get the U Jelly?mug. Cab Man or Cabman is a racist term(usually used in Baltimore) to describe a person of Eastern Indian or Middle Eastern descent due to the fact that they are commonly cab drivers. Even if the person isn't a cab drive, he can still be called a cab man.
Jamal - "In class I sit by a cab man"
Ezra - "What? Is he a cab driver?"
Jamal - "No he just an Indian/Middle Eastern person"

Get the Cab Manmug. A disorder that usually hits when a person gets in their 40s, sometimes it can his as early as their 30s.
People with age amnesia forget that they've have ever been kids, teenagers, or 20somethings and start to criticize the current young population as if they themselves were never a child, teen, or 20something.
People suffering from age amnesia suffer from forgetting they themselves were once teens with raging hormones or noisy little bastards. This comes with a steep misunderstanding of the young, as sufferers of age amnesia have never been a child.

Middle Age Man - "Kids these days all they do is watch TV, smoke weed, and eat bad foods"
20something - "You were a hippie back then, didn't you do the same?"
Middle Age Man - "IT WAS DIFFERENT BACK THEN!"
20something - "Whatever man, you got that Age Amnesia"

Get the Age Amnesiamug. A person with an unwarranted sense of self importance, who's either rich and does nothing bunch show up at parties and other events thrown and for stuck up assholes. Socialites, like every girl who calls herself a fashionista; with tryhard to convince you what they do is important when really they don't do anything that isn't filled with nothing but vapid bs. Rich socialites don't do shit, they live of of other peoples money (Paris Hilton) and do nothing but pride themselves on partying and socializing with other societal cancers, and people who actually do shit. Poor socialites are sychophants who kiss the asses of the rich and popular and hope that their shit will fall into their hands. Poor socialites try to portray posh, but are actually bottom feeders with even more severe self delusion.
Rebecca calls herself a socialite.
She works at forever 21 at day, but spends her nights kissing the ass of, and trying to align herself with celebrities.
