    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.

    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.

    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!
