You can take the JAP* out of America...

A real conversation I overheard the other night on the bus, which was full of religious teen-aged girls:

Girl A: Does she even know we're friends?
Girl B: And, like, (some girl's name), too?
Girl A: Ohmigod, stop texting, already.
Girl B: Ohmigod, stop being such a JAP!
::silent pause::
Girl A: Okay, because I'm the one wearing Ralph?
::another pause for deep consideration of the subject at hand::
Girl C: Ohmigod, I've become obsessed with (name of some designer perfume).
Girl D (not as cool as the others): Is that what you've been spraying everywhere?
Girl C: Ya. I, like, bathe in it.

They got off soon after this. I looked out the window but all I could see were dowdy, frumpy religious girls - and then one turned and I saw the telltale sign of too much makeup.

I don't get it. Are they transplants? Is it possible that JAPiness is an inherited trait?? Can we send them back to wherever they came from???
