Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

It means 'loser' It comes from the word 'jobber' who is a type of pro wrestler who's role is to lose and make the other guy look strong going in to more meaningful matches. (Synonyms: jabroni, enhancement talent, job guy, carpenter, fall guy) Often these are young wrestlers cutting their teeth in the business. But there are some wrestlers who specialize in the role. Note: some wrestlers (jobbers) find the word 'jobber' to be insulating, insinuating they are in the role due to lack of talent. The term enhancement talent is considered more respectful.

One of today's lucky 10000! Search YouTube for jabroni always sunny for the source of the term being used outside wrestling
