1. I'm very familiar with the term. I don't know when I learned the term but it was most likely at my Jewish summer camp (Harlam) in PA ( ... )

1. I'm sort of familiar with it, I would say I didn't hear it until I went to summer camp in upstate New York. I think they use it more on the East Coast than where I'm from.

2. A typical jap is someone who is very spoiled, self-centered, and snobby.

3. I haven't really run into the term JAP since I've been at NYU, so it's not too prevalent here.

4. Not really....some people do use it as an insult, referring to another girl as "jappy"....but I've also seen people call themselves a JAP as if they are proud of it.

5. I would say no. You would have to fit all of the things that the name entails.
