but why do hot dog? become hottodoggu?[/QUOTE]
The Japanese language uses a different set of characters than English that work a bit different. Most syllables are their own character, with the equivalent of an English consonant and vowel combined. There's vowels on their own, but in most cases consonants can only be used in conjunction with a vowel. There is no "T" or "G" in the japanese language, so when you try to make an english word like hotdog work as a word in the Japanese language, you have to stick vowels onto those consonants. Hot becomes Hoto, and dog becomes dogu.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand weebs.

Originally weeaboo referred to extreme fanboys of anime and by extension Japan. The kind of person that throws Japanese words into everyday conversations and thinks of Japan as some dream land despite knowing nothing about the actual country and culture aside from the trivia that seeps through anime and manga.
As per usual that word has been diluted and now can refer to anyone watching anime or having any sort of interest in Japan.

An ancient 4chan wordfilter changed "wapanese" into "weeaboo". Weeaboo originated from that one comic and had no definition at the time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't weeaboo start as a nonsense word from some webcomic?

In other words, these are the only "letters" in Japanese, everything must be made up of these sounds:
[t]http://www.textfugu.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/realkana1.png[/t]
Like Mort said, the closest sound to G is ぐ or "gu".
[sp]well technically it's a non Japanese word so it'd use katakana rather than hirigana but it's identical except for each symbol is drawn differently, so グ, but I'm on my phone and can't be bothered to find any image other than that hirigana chart. [/sp]
It's annoying beyond belief how [B]FUCKING CATCHY[/B] that song is

Started from it? I'm not so sure about that.

You made me google up the origin of the word and apparently according to KnowYourMeme you are right. The story involves a previously used word "Wapanese" and 4chan:
[quote=KnowYourMeme][B]Origin[/B]
The antecedent word “Wapanese” (as in Wannabe Japanese) was most likely introduced in the early 2000s, with the earliest instance on Google search dating back to the Racial Slur Database from June 30, 2002.
Wapanese: a slur used to describe a white person who is obssesed with japanese culture. This would include manga/hentai/and anime.
- The Racial Slur Database, 2002
From late 2003 and onwards, usage of Wapanese became alarmingly visible on 4chan, often leading to unpleasant exchanges between anime/manga fans and those who were far less interested in their subcultures.
At the peak of its abuse in mid-2005, 4chan moderators devised a creative intervention using the word-filter, replacing every instance of Wapanese with “Weeaboo,” which was a fictitious term originally coined by Nicholas Gurewitch in his Perry Bible Fellowship comic strip.[[URL="http://pbfcomics.com/comics/weeaboo/"]1[/URL]][/quote]
