It must be retained!!! All Hong Kong People know the meaning of "Jer Jer". If you don't believe, you can come to HK and shout "Jer Jer" loudly in the city. Then you will see what happen!

"JJ" is the short form of "Jer Jer", just like United Kingdom(UK)



[edit] Jjable

  • Wiktionary material at best, but probably just a single user's vanity page of sorts — Google finds just 39 hits, half of them unrelated garbage (and the rest in Chinese). Jpatokal 15:31, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Forum slang is generally unencyclopedic, and this is a prime example. --Scimitar 16:45, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't agree with you. This word is being very popular in hk internet.In Hkgolden Forum,everyone knows "JJ" means. 219.78.108.121 15:38, 2005 Jun 3 (according to edit history. Uncle G 02:56, 2005 Jun 4 (UTC))
  • Yes, It's one of the Hong Kong Culture. 60.240.187.234 15:47, 2005 Jun 3
  • If 'pwn' can be a wiki entry, so can jjable. keep. 216.158.31.195 16:46, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • why is this justified by number of occurances in google ? Can you give a figure for how much appears in google before ok to be put in wiki? 50? 100? 200? 1000? And "the rest in chinese", did u try to understand what those chinese pages means before making your statement ? Keep too.. by GILL2O+ 219.78.76.58 16:57, 2005 Jun 3 (according to edit history.

    • Wikipedia, the encyclopaedia, doesn't have a Google bar for words, because Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Wiktionary, the dictionary, has criteria for inclusion that have to be met, which this purported word does not meet based upon what Google returns. Proper quotations, demonstrating the word in actual independent use, preferably in printed sources, are the royal road to satisfying those criteria. Uncle G 03:18, 2005 Jun 4 (UTC)
  • & It'd be nice if the other helpful posters would sign their comments. But good point, Gill. If Singlish can be in wikipedia, this should be, too. 216.158.31.195 17:27, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to Wiktionary, at best. --Tabor 18:28, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Neologism. Gets 14 unique Google hits. For comparison, "pwn" gets well over a million. --Carnildo 21:27, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Neologism. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 02:59, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • No evidence that this is a word, so no transwiki. No person/concept/place/thing/event — nothing whatever — for an encyclopaedia article by this title. Delete. Uncle G 03:18, 2005 Jun 4 (UTC)
  • Sock puppet limit has been reached. Delete. RickK 04:26, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete This "word" is just one of the many shibboleths used in the chat-forum HKGolden, and has no validity anywhere else -- yes, I am from Hong Kong and read Chinese. There is no point transfering it to Wiktionary unless there is evidence that this "word" catches on.Roderick

  • I think it is a kind of subculture, so why don't we include this in Wikipedia? It is not the matter of 'how many Google hits it gets'. So keep it.Fatoil2000 — (Fatoil2000's 9th edit.)
    • Please add comments to the bottom of the discussion. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 18:50, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
    • If there is a subculture here, its name is not "jjable" and this article doesn't contain anything whatever about it. Uncle G 15:38, 2005 Jun 5 (UTC)
  • Delete Please don't try to mislead others. It's not popuplar in Hong Kong. Only used by people in "ONE" forum. (I'm one of the active users of that forum)
    • Per this, change vote to Delete. 216.158.31.195 18:12, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

DO NOT DELETE IT!!!! This term is well known in Hong Kong, There is 700, 000 people using the Internet service in Hong Kong. According to a survey in 1998. 78% of them know what is "JJ-able". In addition, HKGOLDEN FORUM has over 50000 members. Won't you give a chance to this slang word?

  • Comment Although I'm neutral to this matter, it's no good giving false (or fake) statistics. The term appears in this one or two years. I didn't see any research about popularity of this word.
  • Delete - neologism. --FCYTravis 07:12, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - anon user is removing delete votes. --FCYTravis 07:13, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I've restored a few that you've missed. The anonymous user has also deleted other unsigned delete votes from other anonymous users. I've restored as many of them as I can find, too. Uncle G 22:08, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)
  • Delete it!This word is useless outside HongKong —Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.127.73.176 (talk • contribs) 10:19, 2005 Jun 9
  • Delete! Such so-called "slang" is only used by minority in a forum (less than 100 people from observation). It is not a well-known word to be considered as a slang. - Drazla 11:00, 9 Jun 2005 (GMT +8) Actually User:210.245.204.11 03:22, 2005 Jun 9
  • Delete! It's a newly invented slang only used in a hong kong based forum, and google results show how it's extremely rarely used in hong kong. Wiki has already put its resource to explain this term here(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_slang), no extra resource should be spent.--Zen, Hong Kong —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.103.202.146 (talk • contribs) 21:24, 2005 Jun 7
