ninja edit

A ninja edit is an change made to a published post or article (typically on a bulletin board) that preempts the first response made. Often, the existence of the ninja edit is only made clear by a reference to the mistake or inconsistency in the original article by the response. In such a case, the author of the response began writing before the ninja edit, but submitted the response after the ninja edit had been made.

The phrase is made up of ninja, a much-revered warrior caste famed for their speed and agility, and edit, the process of changing a creative work.

The usefulness of ninja edits is typically hightened by bulletin boards that allow free editing of a post before any responses have been made, but make a mandatory note of any edits made after the first response has been made. Hence, if the author identifies the mistake, he or she must act quickly to rectify it before another poster replies.

Original post by X:
Hey! I had a really fun day today, I went to the beach with my boyfriend.

Y reads the original post.

X then edits the post to read:
Hey! I had a really fun day today, I went to the beach with my girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Y has written, and subsequently entered, the post:
HAHA! You have a boyfriend? j00r a fag!

Y then reads the edited original post, then enters the post:
Oh! Nice ninja edit!

In this case, the thread would read, to a party reading it at a later time:

X: Hey! I had a really fun day today, I went to the beach with my girlfriend.

Y: HAHA! You have a boyfriend? j00r a fag!

Y: Oh! Nice ninja edit!

Ninja Nude

A Ninja Nude is the act of getting fully undressed and taking a nude picture during a meeting, classroom lecture or other busy event. Nearly impossible to accomplish without getting caught.

'I heard James tried to take a Ninja Nude during his meeting, and the boss caught his stupid ass!'

Secret Ninjas

It is a subtle way of indicating towards people of asian descent. They are secret ninjas.
Saying this means that they dont know you are calling them asians.

E: Hey bro, dont look now but there is a huge group of secret ninjas behind you

S: Damn man its like horishima up in this bitch

Three Ninjas

1. A great movie to quote that was made in 1992 about three ninjas trained by their grandfather.

2. A nickname to a confused, but innocent girl, who didn't know her friends were quoting the movie, because they watched it without her.

"What movie are you quoting?" "Chelsi Marie! Three Ninjas!" "Nielson."

Ninja Selfie

Taking a “secret” selfie with someone else’s phone, while waiting to take a photo for them, for them to find later. This is done as a fun prank.

I asked the couple if they would like me to snap a pic of them and I took a few Ninja selfies while they got ready.
