JR[LN]

JR[LN] /J-R-L/, /J-R-N/ n.  The names JRL and JRN were
   sometimes used as example names when discussing a kind of user ID
   used under {{TOPS-10}} and {WAITS}; they were understood to be
   the initials of (fictitious) programmers named `J. Random Loser'
   and `J. Random Nerd' (see {J. Random}).  For example, if one
   said "To log in, type log one comma jay are en" (that is, "log
   1,JRN"), the listener would have understood that he should use his
   own computer ID in place of `JRN'.
