Your Definition
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.
