If you haven't looked at ED:LULZ in a while, now is a great time to catch up.
Otaku
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Though in Japan this word has a negative connotation linked to crazy 30-something men murdering children, otaku is slung around in America by 16 year old girls, 30-something basement dwellers and 80 year old Chinese man in panties in a puerile attempt to scream about just how BIG a fan they are of anime.
Otaku is to anime as Trekkie is to Star Trek, only more annoying, and infinitely more deserving of a shiv between the shoulderblades. The more hardcore Otakus argue that Japan should have won World War II.
A self-proclaimed otaku can be identified on livejournal by its numerous posts full of anime-related quiz results and/or delusional rants about (insert anime-related subject here).
FUN FACT: "otaku" is the male form. So, if you're scouring google for inuyasha fanfiction or hot otaku ass to rape, beware!
FUN FACT: Otakus think they're bad ass as the say "i LoVe mEtAl sOoOo kAwAi ^-^!!!!" when indeed, they don't have a fucking clue of what it is. (get real, fools, slipknot blows ass). Some of them trend to mix nerdy anime with actual metal songs, causing lollercoasters sometimes, and some beatings too.

[edit] In Japan
Otaku means "honourable house" and used to be very polite term for "you" (with relative strangers); in the fandom sense, it was lightly insulting and used sarcastically in Japanese because it involved using a cold honorific on obsessives who probably don't deserve it (Japanese people are all amnesiacs and require constant reminding of who they are). Originally referring only to train-spotters and the like, the "house" part has caused it to drift into also being used as a heavily derogatory term for geeks who don't leave their houses. Mainly because it was discovered that a suicidal serial child rapist in Japan sometime back had an extensive collection of lolicon and only ever left his house to get more. It is generally written only in katakana, to distinguish it from the non-derogatory use of the word, and to emphasize the fact that only stupid foreigners would ever take pride in such a label.
[edit] In Malaysia
In Malaysia the term otaku also means a pedopheliac Annie-may freak or other Weaboo. The local type are easy to spot, just show the otaku a few pictures of girls and ask it to choose one, the chosen one is sure to be the most under-aged. One Malaysian state, Melaka, has become a particular breeding ground.
