JEDR

(person, abuse, humour)Synonymous with IYFEG. At one time,people in the Usenet newsgroup news:rec.humor.funnytended to use "JEDR" instead of IYFEG or ""; thisstemmed from a public attempt to suppress the group once madeby a loser with initials JEDR after he was offended by anethnic joke posted there. (The practice was retconned byexpanding these initials as "Joke Ethnic/Denomination/Race".)After much sound and fury JEDR faded away; this term appearsto be doing likewise. JEDR's only permanent effect on thenet.culture was to discredit "sensitivity" arguments forcensorship so thoroughly that more recent attempts to raisethem have met with immediate and near-universal rejection.
