Comment on Who or what is Jerma?
lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 month agoFor other people thrown off by the unusual tone tags here:
- /uj = unjerk; to indicate that the statement is not a joke and it is serious
- /rj = rejerk; to indicate that the statement is a joke or not serious
(since when did “jerk” change meaning from “nasty man” to “joke”? is this a misspelling?)

It’s a shortening of “circlejerk”

so now mutual masturbation is a joke to you people?!

I know of that phrase, “jerk” here means to masturbate and its mostly used to methaforically describe a positively reinforcing echo chamber, like some sects or online community.
Still doesn’t explain me why it means “funny”, in this case
