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
retconned by the 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.
