1. gaijin
In Japanese, the word means, literally, "outside person." In Japanese it's spelled 外人. It is often used as a contraction of sorts for gaikokujin ("outside-country person"), meaning forienger. In its contracted form it can be an insult, but in recent years has been watered down by widespread use in and out of Japan. In actual usage, a better definition would be "non-Japanese" since Japanese people will use it in reference to non-Japanese even when they themselves are the foriegners in a country other than Japan.
Gaijin in Japan stick out like sore thumbs because they're usually a full head taller than everyone else.

4. gaijin
In Japanese, this word means foreigner. Can be used outside of Japan, but unless the person you're talking to knows some Japanese, they may not know what you're on about.

Several meanings used include:

1. Usually used by wapanese people as an insult to mean "idiot" or "newbie". In that context, it literally means "one out of the group".

2. Used as a battle cry amoung foreigners in Japan to refer to their uniqueness (also see gaijin smash).
1. Wow, you failed that song on DDR didn't you? What a gaijin.

2. Yeah! There must be at least 6 gaijin in the kareoke booth! Woo!

5. gaijin
1. A derogatory phrase literally meaning "Outsider" in Japanese. Used as a watered-down insult aimed to further ostrasize white people from the Japanese society they already are powerless to blend into.

2. A term used to describe the white people that Japanese girls looking for a one-night stand will choose 11 times out of 10 over a Japanese man.

3. A term used to describe the white people that Japanese men wish they could be, but are generally 40-70 pounds too light and 5-12 inches too short to be.
Man, at the age of 14, as a young Japanese woman, I've already realized that almost every Japanese man is ill-equiped to please me. I sure could use a gaijin to work out my side-ways p00n. Explain to me again why all Japanese men shop at the same womens department I do. Hey, I have the same shirt/haircut/jewelry/handbag/boyfriend as that young, supposed-to-be attractive Japanese guy walking around Shibuya trying to look tough, but deflecting his gaze everytime anyone white walks by, only to later ridicule them quietly to his friends, while the white guy bones the chicks the Japanese man has to pay 20,000 yen to sit and talk with for the night...

As a young Japanese man, I wish someone would have told me that the men appearing in fasion magazines were extremely flaming homosexuals before me and everyone I know emulated everything about them. I also wish I could have gotten a magazine printed in the 21st century, as I could have saved $70 on my shitty giant brown mullet hair-cut.

7. gaijin
Insulting Japanese term that essentially means 'dirty barbarian'. While an insult coming from the mouth of a Japanese person, other foreigners in Japan will readily refer to themselves and others as Gaijin. Much like Blacks in America use the 'N' word to show unity, so do the foreigners in Japan.
"Hey, besides us, there's like 15 more gaijin at the club!"
