Nova Usagi, or 'Nova Rabbit', is the mascot of the latest ad campaign by Japanese eikaiwa company Nova. It's a strange hot-pink bunny with a yellow beak for a mouth, can be found singing his own weird song in the adverts he appears in - 'ippai kikete, ippai shabereru' - translated - 'you can hear a lot, you can speak a lot'.
Massively popular in Japan, and seen as incredibly cute, since his appearance the merchandising has made a few hundred million yen for Nova. Nova Usagi Chan also has his own cd, which features many remixes of his strange little song...
'ippai kikete, ippai shabereru' ... 'aren't I the coolest bunny?'

"Usagi Yojimbo" is Japanese for "rabbit bodyguard". It also happens to be the title of Stan Sakai's great comic book series, starring Miyamoto Usagi, an anthropomorphic animal named after Miyamoto Musashi. The series has a very cinematic feel. Sakai retells Japanese legends and samurai stories in a way that's both novel and respectful. If you haven't yet - you gotta read it.
The series is set in XVII-century feudal Japan. Usagi is a ronin - a masterless samurai - and a musha shugyo, a pilgrim-warrior, on a quest to better his spirit and hone his swordsman skills. His skills are already great and his honor and dedication to bushido, the warrior's code - almost unshakeable but his journey has no end.
During his travels Usagi faces countless enemies - different clans of ninja warriors; thugs, thieves and brutes; pawns of the dark lord Hikiji and, last but not least, Jei, an immortal demon - or the messenger of the gods - or simply a dangerous lunatic.
Usagi has many friends too - like Gen, a somewhat surly bounty hunter (and a rhino); Kitsune (a fox), a cheerful and sexy (in a disturbing, animalistic sort of way) con-artist; Chizu, a female ninja warrior with a crush on Usagi; finally, Tomoe - a female samurai warrior who's in love with Usagi (mutually; love, however, would get in the way of their duties and that cannot be allowed.
Both Chizu and Tomoe are pussycats by the way.
Oh, and don't think that with so many hotties around Usagi's a fag who didn't get any. He has a son - so that's at least once.
"Violence isn't what being a samurai means. I'm sorry you made me do this" Usagi said to the bodies of his assailants.
That's Usagi Yojimbo allright.

'Nuff said.
Pretty much the same as your face or your mom. Can be used for any type of situational comeback that you can possibly think of with a touch of...elongated flair.
Person 1: You don't look so good.
Person 2: YOUR FACE'S SECOND MOTHER'S DAUGHTER'S GREAT AUNT'S COUSIN'S DIVORCED WIFE'S BAKA USAGI OF A ROOMMATE DOESN'T LOOK SO GOOD!!!
Person 1: . . . *walks away*

When the author changes a child care anime/manga into an father-daughter incest anime. based on the manga with the same name.
Person 1: SpyXFamily could've easily been an Usagi drop.
Person 2: Yeah, some scenes had me scared.
