Jay is a person, and the picture that was written on invokes the same feeling that this Jay does, the picture is Jay AF.

Why is your comment yellow for me? I’m using the browser.

Maybe don’t use highlighter markers on your monitor?

(But seriously, it’s no different color than other comments in this thread for me. Maybe it was a “new” post for you when you wrote that and the rest weren’t?)

You’re probably right. I’ll stop coloring on my monitor.

Because it was a new comment then, so it got highlighted. As of Lemmy 0.19.0-rc.5 it’s orange. Or yellow. I don’t know what it really is.

Thank you!

OceanSoap,

This is most likely the correct answer. Jay Is probably either a classmate she has a crush on, or a celebrity that she she has a crush on.

I’m going to just assume it’s Jay Mohr. He’s dreamy.

Num10ck,

i would guess theres a boy at her school who fits into that picture for her.

Jay is more than likely a person, because I don’t think the kids are trying to bring back the old slang “jay” which was a somewhat derogatory term meaning “rube” given the context here.

Davel23,

a somewhat derogatory term meaning “rube”

Also where the term "jaywalking" comes from.

garbagebagel,

TIL the word rube

thatsthespirit,

My wild guess: “Jay” stands for “Jordans”, that is, a pair of shoes which are deemed to be very cool by most kids.

So, “Jay AF” could mean “cool as fuck”.

Never heard it myself, but Urban Dictionary says it’s an actually amazing person.

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jay

cheese_greater,

Doesn’t it say that about every name?

Sometimes you see one written by someone who hates a person with that name.

B1naryB0t,

Whenever you look up names on urban dictionary you have to remember it’s mostly middle schoolers trying to boost their own ego or signal to others that they’re hot

You must be goking.

Lemminary,

It’s “jif” not “gif”

Geek_King,

I’ve most frequently seeing AF mean “As fuck”. It’s even gotten to the point of bumper stickers that say things like “Mommy AF”. Outside that meaning, I’m not sure what else AF could mean.

superduperenigma,

Did you just not read the post?

I know what “AF” means

Geek_King,

My apologizes, apparently I failed my reading comprehension check.

garbagebagel,

AF means “as fuck” I think, I’m not sure what else it could mean

Jay, obviously, is a person who isn’t from the city — hence the term, Jaywalking! JK, but that is a real thing. It’s probably not the real answer here.
