    That term is disturbing. I think of the Manson "Family" every time someone thinks it's "cool" to use this term.

    Not to mention I'm not a fan of Her:

    http://www.jamily.com.br/


    and I'm not a member of this organization:


    http://www.yesjams.org/


    This term has never caught on, and never will. There is a very, very tiny group who use it. And only on this board.

    Stop the madness. ;)

    I put the term in the same group as a certain 3 letter abbreviation that starts with an L, ends with an L and has an O in the middle.
    I would never type any of them and they make me feel embarrassed for whoever uses them.
    No offense.

    I'm fine with "lol", so long as it doesn't get overused. I hate "epic fail" and " lmfao" though.

    I just learned "epic fail" a couple weeks ago. I spilled something and my younger brother said it. I had no clue what he was talking about. Apparently I failed at pouring my juice. But it wasn't just a regular spill...
    ...it was epic.

    I am not a fan of the term Jamily. Seems like something noobs and the media latch onto. You have my vote to retire it!

    Well, Phish starts with PH, so a lot of these Phish fans will talk about "phans", or "phriends", and other such things like that. I thought my friend just sounded like the biggest dumbass when he said that.

    Jamily is a terrible word.
  • IAmMyselfIAmMyself Posts: 671
    I have hated the term jamily, but I do understand the guy who started it was describing us to his kid and that makes sense but that is where it should've stayed.
    I call myself a 10clubber, because I couldn't think of any other way to describe what I do, but that is pretty much it. I follow PJ around the world and stay in constant contact with 10club. Plus you have to really like the band to know what I'm talking about and i enjoy that.

    To answer the previous question, I believe the original poster was referring to the fact that phish phans use ph for their f's, phish phriends.

    No issues with Jamily, not particularly what I would choose but I don't mind. However I was wondering who came up with Jamily and is there a special shrine we can visit? How did Jamily start? Did people vote on it and it is stuck with us the rest of our lives? Why a negative response to something new, is Jamily etched in stone? I said Stone. I sure do like pearl jam. :D
