JAMODI

I always thought this term was specific to this particular forum and was invented on one of its predecessors (C4/ABC) but it now appears to have been used on a number of cricket forums and blogs (and even has an Urban Dictionary entry!)

Saw somewhere a suggestion it was "coined by an Aussie" but not sure whether that refers to an Australian forum or someone more well known in Aussie cricket perhaps? Or is it an FB/C4/ABC creation that has found its way into wider use, if so are there any other creations that have escaped the confines of these forums?

Well the first place I came across it was on C4 and can't recall seeing it on any other forums I have frequented or visited.

Well I hadn't seen it anywhere else until recently, can't remember where I spotted it but google "JAMODI cricket" and quite a number of different sites come up.

Google jamodi cricket and this place has more links.

I see the urban dictionary entry is date 2005 and am pretty sure it was common currency on C4 prior to that. In fact I seem to recall being on C4 prior to my joining in 2002.

Mentioned somewhere on this thread in 2005. You will probably recognise most of the names.

In fact I even see a certain Beamer there.

From 2007. The term is used by a certain Stuart.

Yeah, that was just my fantasy cricket team from Nath's game promoted on C4 I guess, I've never posted on that other forum.

Well reading the glossary preamble it looks like either Zat or Nath can give a definitive answer.

My feel is that it is either from C4 or ABC.

Its a crap forum BTW.

The term was introduced to C4 from ABC forum as far as i remember. Can't remember the origins on the latter forum though.

Aye, the ABC forum was definitely using it back in 2001. MB may remember who first coined the phrase. Maybe Nerkles?

I reckon it may have been an Ordinary Person invention

Could be.

It was being used on the ABC before I got there ...which was just before TGM's bad piss

It was certainly an ABC term. I think we started off complaining about the number of "Meaningless One Day Internationals" and it went from there.

It is one of our great contributions to the global cricket lexicon.

Aye, how good were we?

Grouse times.

IIRC, both Daniel and Dellboy have at various times claimed parentage of various phrases that have since gone into the vernacular (meaning, beyond these forums).

Scented Panda Hammer to name but one.

If only. Yet to hear it repeated in the Sky commentary box.

Belf and Belfohl™ have also yielded no cultural gains, alas.

Man, I've lost my touch. I haven't even got 'Smashlist' on Urban Dictionary yet. Shocka. Remember - you heard the word here first.

You'll be heartened to know that i've got my two nephews using thunderqunt w@nkstain

What is a smash list?

Sort of like a hate fark?

No, the assorted sexual partners of Dan's lighter daydreams .... in series, not parallel.

It's an intricate and cerebral list of all the human beings you want to trounce with your man love. I thought it was plain to see??

Woman love, too, people. Don't say I don't keep it egalitarian.
