1. jedr
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
retconned 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.
