Gaijiinu

Copper is a female Shiba Inu who ate a scorpion, so her swollen face was uploaded to Tumblr on March 24, 2016.1) This specific image would reach 2channel's /livejupiter/ board, likely through Instagram, and received the slightly derogatory name of 'Gaijiinu' (ガイジーヌ).

Etymology

In the Japanese internet, the /livejupiter/ users believed this dog had down syndrome, and nicknamed her 'Gaiji Inu' (ガイジ犬) which later became 'Gaijiinu' (ガイジーヌ) over time. As a warning for non-Japanese speakers, the term 'gaiji' (ガイジ) is slang for 'shōgaiji' (障害児, lit. “disabled child”), which is considered to be a derogatory term due to the whole euphemism treadmill effect, like 'retarded'.

Notes

  • 'Pachrick' was the male dog owner's boyfriend2) and Copper's last photos were from October 2016.3)4) The two broke up, so we probably aren't going to see the dog again until we get a lead.
  • We could, theoretically, translate it to 'Retardog', but I feel like that would raise a lot of questions.
