J. Random

jargon /J rand'm/ (Generalised from J. Random Hacker)

Arbitrary; ordinary; any one; any old. "J. Random" is often

prefixed to a noun to make a name out of it. It means roughly

"some particular" or "any specific one". "Would you let

J. Random Loser marry your daughter?" The most common uses

are "J. Random Hacker", "J. Random Loser", and "J. Random

Nerd" ("Should J. Random Loser be allowed to gun down other

people?"), but it can be used simply as an elaborate version

of random in any sense.
