Nemo ,

I’m not sure how you’re using the term here, since I know two definitions for it:

A) streetcorner loiterer

2] slang for testicles

Eiither are you talking about lurkers, or trolls, or shitposters, or what?

Lurkers may or may not be necessary. I’m not one, I couldn’t say.

Trolls are not necessary, and in fact harmful to discourse.

Shitposters are very necessary, they are the leaven to discussion that makes it fluffy and digestible.

ccunning OP ,

I clarified in another comment (or at least tried to 😅).

I’m not familiar with those definitions for jabroni, but troll would be the closest of the options you mention but maybe more of a troll/shitposter hybrid…

ccunning OP ,

…ooof…turns out the jabroni was coming from inside the house all along…

I don't know if I'd say necessity, more like inevitability.

Rhynoplaz ,

Exactly what I was going to say.

Success leads to attention, which leads to more members, more members means an increased chance that some of them are jabronis.

Jabronis that’s a cool word!

What is a jabroni?

ccunning OP ,

A Jabroni is like an antagonist or fall guy. I guess the term was popularized is professional “wrestling”.

Maybe “Griefers” would have been a better word to use?

Thanks for clarifying! I haven’t heard it much, and all I really had in my head was something like “dudes”.

bionicjoey ,

I had no idea it had such a specific meaning. I heard it through Always Sunny, where it’s used as a very generic insult.

I’ve heard some similar terms from wrestling/circus terms. Is a Jabroni distinct from a “Heel” or is it basically the same thing?

ccunning OP ,

Is a Jabroni distinct from a “Heel” or is it basically the same thing?

I assumed they were the same but I’m far (far far far) from an expert.
