Me, I'm fine with "Jammers", or "VedHeads", though that one's specific to Eddie. Any other ideas?
    What is P H??? :?

    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.

    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.

    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
