a) A nonsense term taken from a webcomic to replace the word 'wapanese' (whites who want to be Japanese, see also 'wigger.') People found 'wapanese' offensive, I guess, so there was a board filter to take out that word and put in 'weeaboo.' In a case of INTERNET TRUTHINESS, weeaboo became what it had sought to replace.

b) Wee-a-boo, I guess. (http://www.pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF071-Weeaboo.gif)
