Stereotypes have unfortunately linked the word inscrutable with the whole continent of Asia and at times extended that domain to include North Africa (i.e. Orientals). According to the Urban Dictionary, the new term, contributed by tdotcom on 4 January 2010 is asialogical.
The meaning of asialogical is "An Asian way of doing things that doesn't make sense in the Western tradition. Maybe the word inscrutable was to hard to spell for tdotcom because the example sentence was "The Chinese decided to build a building before drawing the plans, which which of course was totally asialogical."
I also learned that saying a person is an egg has been replaced by weeaboo for someone obsessed with Japanese culture or anime. Another word for such a person is wapanese. I wonder what they use for eggs who are into Chinese or Indian culture.
Looking at the Urban Dictionary's entries for "Asian" and "Asia" make me appreciate Wikipedia more. Did you know that Asia is a "Continent whose citizens would completely die out without rice. It is not just a stereotype, all Asian countries(except maybe some in the Middle East) depend on rice and even food that is not rice is often made of rice somehow"?
Personally I prefer bread (sorry, mom) and tortillas.
