@monorail okay so what's the etymology of it, where does the je- prefix come from

@Felthry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@monorail see this is really frustrating because all the stuff you said is stuff we've pretty much gleaned from context (the confirmation is good though) but what I mostly want to know it seems no one knows and that's immensely frustrating

@monorail just, where the fuck does the je- come from

@Felthry looking it up, apparently the answer is "Community Effort (Orlando) member Jebailey of Twitch" and that it's used as an emote when a streamer has been tricked by their chat into believing something completely false. I have no idea why the "ge" instead unless it's a mutation.

@yaodema we've literally never seen it in writing, the ge was our own invention due to not knowing how to spell it

@Felthry wait, people say this out loud? oh dear.

@yaodema yes and i hate it

@Felthry do they also say Kappa and Poggers because this is upsetting

@yaodema we've encountered people who do, but not any we regularly watch (not that we watch many streams or stream recordings in general)

@yaodema also of note: this wasn't even in the context of twitch, these things are leaking off of twitch and i hate it
