Official Retire the JAMILY Term Thread

Who's with me? I went to a Phish show, and my friend, who's a big time Phish fan, started talking to some random dude, and mentioned something about "friends with a P H!" I was embarrassed for his sake, just as I am for anyone who uses this tragically embarrassing term. So let's put an end to it.. and replace it with something better, or at least less bad! Me, I'm fine with "Jammers", or "VedHeads", though that one's specific to Eddie. Any other ideas?

    therefore it should stay. Your over ruled ...end of thread....now post something people might actally get behind because this isnt it.

    This thread = useless.

    We are Jamily...get over it....nothing you can do. Consider yourself out of the Jamily.

    I sincerely hope I was never referred to as part of the "Jamily". As Stephen Flow just mentioned, it's SO damn cheesy. I'm all for being part of a community, and for naming said community, but Jamily is not that name.

    true, but if anyone ever called me a VedHead like the OP suggests .... well ... :roll:

    Not really sure why there's a need for a nickname. "Pearl Jam fan" suits me fine.

    wow VedHeads, i've never heard that one.

    Anyway the Jamily term will live on forever as long as people making threads to ban the use of the term jamily :mrgreen:
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    This is a discussion board, well, we're discussing. Better this than a thread ranting about how the album's too short, too far away, a bad album (though we've only heard a few cuts), etc.
    Not to mention, you're just fuel for the fire by posting at all ;)

    Jamily is as dumb as the people that use it.
  • PJStatTrackerPJStatTracker Posts: 2,400
    It is one of the three things that gets said repeatedly on here that I hate the most...the other two are:

    "the waiting drove me mad" whenever we're waiting for news, or the christmas single, or whatever

    and the worst of all..."looks like ____ has the green disease" anytime anyone is selling something new, specifically PJ.

    Jamily is pretty fucking bad though...it just sounds dumb.

    That said, I don't actually lose any sleep over any of these stupid things...

    Jamily = No

    Isn't there only one band that has fans who named themselves... the Dead Heads...

    It's a much cooler name for a dog.

    Yes, Jamily is cringeworthy.

    Jamily=worst name ever. Gives me total douchechills whenever I read or hear it. Of course, this is coming from a guy who uses the word "douchechills" so take it for what it's worth.

    Adding douchechills to my vocabulary list.

    Thank you, sir.

    Jamily is aweful. Soo cheesy. We need something that can be taken more seriously if we have to have a name. But....why do we need a turdy term anyway? Beatle and Zepplin fans don't go around calling themselves Beatle Butt-friends and Zepplin Zoo.
