JEDR
|
|
|
|
// , n. Synonymous with IYFEG. At one time, people in the Usenet newsgroup
|
|
rec.humor.funny tended to use JEDR instead of IYFEG or ethnic ; this stemmed
|
|
from a public attempt to suppress the group once made by a loser with
|
|
initials JEDR after he was offended by an ethnic joke posted there. (The
|
|
practice was retcon ned by expanding these initials as Joke
|
|
Ethnic/Denomination/Race. ) After much sound and fury JEDR faded away; this
|
|
term appears to be doing likewise. JEDR's only permanent effect on the
|
|
net.culture was to discredit sensitivity arguments for censorship so
|
|
thoroughly that more recent attempts to raise them have met with immediate
|
|
and near-universal rejection. Prev Up Next JCL Home Jeff K.
