    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.

    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.

    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.
