JRL

J. Random Loser. The names JRL and JRN were sometimes used

as example names when discussing a kind of user ID used under

TOPS-10 and WAITS. They were understood to be the

initials of (fictitious) programmers named "J. Random Loser"

and "J. Random Nerd". For example, if one said "To log in,

type log one comma jay are en" (that is, "log 1,JRN"), the

listener would have understood that he should use his own

computer ID in place of "JRN".
