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.
