Jap
Jap is an English abbreviation of the word "Japanese." Today it is generally regarded as an ethnic slur among Japanese minority populations in other countries, although English-speaking countries differ in the degree to which they consider the term offensive. In the United States, Japanese Americans have come to find the term controversial or offensive, even when used as an abbreviation. In the past, Jap was not considered primarily offensive; however, during and after the events of World War II, the term became derogatory.
History and etymology
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "Jap" as an abbreviation for "Japanese" was in colloquial use in London around 1880. An example of benign usage was the previous naming of Boondocks Road in Jefferson County, Texas, originally named "Jap Road" when it was built in 1905 to honor a popular local rice farmer from Japan.
Later popularized during World War II to describe those of Japanese descent, "Jap" was then commonly used in newspaper headlines to refer to the Japanese and Imperial Japan. "Jap" became a derogatory term during the war, more so than "Nip." Veteran and author Paul Fussell explains the usefulness of the word during the war for creating effective propaganda by saying that "Japs" "was a brisk monosyllable handy for slogans like 'Rap the Jap' or 'Let's Blast the Jap Clean Off the Map.'" Some in the United States Marine Corps tried to combine the word "Japs" with "apes" to create a new description, "Japes", for the Japanese; this neologism never became popular.
6.5×50mmSR Arisaka
The 6.5×50mm Semi-Rimmed (6.5×50mmSR) Japanese cartridge, currently manufactured under the designation 6.5mm Jap, was adopted by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1897, along with the Type 30 Arisaka infantry rifle and carbine. The new rifle and cartridge replaced the 8×52mm Murata round used in the Type 22 Murata Rifle. In 1902 the Imperial Japanese Navy chambered its Type 35 rifle for the cartridge as well. In 1905, the round also came to be offered in the Type 38 Arisaka infantry rifle and carbine, both of which rendered the Type 30 obsolete in Imperial Army service. Type 44 cavalry carbines, first adopted in 1911, were also chambered in 6.5×50mm.
History
Early 6.5×50mm cartridges had a cupronickel, round-nosed bullet weighing 10.4 grams (160 gr) fired with approximately 2.0 grams (31 gr) of smokeless powder. This was later changed with the adoption of the Type 38 when Japan, in line with the other great powers around the same time, changed to the pointed or spitzer bullet in the first decade of the twentieth century. The Type 38 spitzer-bullet round fired a 9.0-gram (139 gr) bullet with a powder charge of 33 grains (2.1 g) for a muzzle velocity of around 770 metres per second (2,500 ft/s).

Schlaf Kindlein, Schlaf
by: JboGeh' ins Bett, kleiner Depp,
Mach schon, komm, sei nett,
Denn es ist schon so spaet!
Mach's Licht aus, komm, sei brav
Und geniesse den Schlaf,
Den das Sandmaennchen saet!
Schlaf mit ein'm Aug' offen,
Und halt' dei' Kissen fest!
Schlaf Kindlein, schlaf,
Dei' Mutter is' a Schaf,
Dein Vater ist in Pommerland,
Und Pommerland ist abgebrannt.
Traeum' von Pariser Bier
Und von Ungetier,
Und von Emanzipation,
Traeum von Heinz, sowieso,
Und von J.B.O.
Das ist schrecklich mein Sohn!
Schlaf mit ei'm Aug' offen,
Und halt' dei' Nilschwein fest!
Chorus
Lieber Gott, mach mich fromm,
Dass ich in den Himmel komm!
Komm, kleiner Depp, schlaf endlich ein
Und hoer' auf so rumzuschrei'n,
Sonst schmeissen wir dich auf den Dung-
Postnatale Abtreibung!
Schlaf Kindlein, schlaf,
Dei' Mutter is' a Schaf
Pommerland,
Und Pommerland ist abgebrannt.
Schlaf Kindlein, schlaf,
Dei' Vater f(piep)t a Schaf,
Pommerland,
Und Pommerland ist abgebrannt.
