watching hokido girls are adorable and the dub is way funny because they give some of the hokido folks a fargo type accent. Also I swear he uses the term yaru like hot. he will say I can't believe im friends with a yaru like that and it sounds like it would mean hottie to me. When I look it up it seems a super offensive term for a girl. That confuses me.

You're probably mishearing "gyaru".

This would seem to fit. I just never hear the g so maybe its subtle in the pronunciation. I actually found a youtube video saying how to pronounce and they seemed to alternate using a more pronounced g and a practically non existent g so it seems like the g sound is almost optional.
