JEDR

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 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.
