    There\u2019s something exciting about new words being added to the dictionary,\u00a0and this week we have a brilliant new entry ripped straight from the world of professional wrestling<\/a>. Yes, \u201cjabroni\u201d is now a recognized word, and I hope you will use it in all your future Scrabble games. …<\/p>\n

    If you watched wrestling during the late 1990s you heard The Rock call people \u201cjabronis\u201d on a regular basis, but its origin dates back further than that. The first person to use the word as part [sic?] was The Iron Sheik, wrestling legend and one of the weirdest follows on Twitter you can possible [sic] have<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Sheik used the term first, and was part of his lexicon. To him a \u201cjabroni\u201d was a \u201cjobber,\u201d or \u201cenhancement talent.\u201d Essentially another wrestler whose job it was to be booked for a match and lose, in order to make a more popular wrestler look better. He used the word in [the] fiercely private wrestling locker, and never introduced it to the world. This was part of maintaining \u201ckayfabe,\u201d or the artifice of reality that exists inside pro wrestling. [SBNation<\/strong><\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Wow, I remember watching the Iron Sheik when I was a kid. And SBNation<\/strong><\/em> needs to [f|h]ire copy editors.<\/p>\n

    Noted in “Biden has fully embraced the ‘Dark Brandon’ meme, and media MAGAs are big mad<\/em><\/a>,” Aldous J Pennyfarthing, Daily Kos<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

    Okay, then. Of course, you may be shocked to learn that these fools couldn\u2019t be more wrong. As\u00a0Axios reported Friday<\/a>\u2014contrary to the bleating\u00a0of these right-wing jabronis\u2014the whole Dark Brandon thing has been a real boon to Biden\u2019s reelection campaign.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
