Okay, this is the shortest poll ever, but here's the thing. When I first started reading fic, I kept seeing the term "Jossed," and in the context it was used, I deduced that Jossed meant the canon of the show established by Joss Whedon completely trounced on someone speculation and made their fic AU. I figured the same when I first started seeing the term Kripke'd floating about. That the show canon developed in a way that was unlike the writer's speculations and thus made their fic AU. I assumed it was like something being "trumped" in Euchre.
Lately, I've been seeing Kripke'd being used as a term to assert that the show canon has "copied" a writer's fictional canon, thus making it appear as though the show writers borrowed it from said fic writer or read said writer's mind.
Personally, I'm confused. What do people believe the term Kripke'd means? And where would one go to find out the actual meaning?
[Poll #1342498]
ETA: Because I'm at work and cannot reply to everyone, it would appear that the two words are antonyms. Which leads me to ask A)Why? and B)So what is teh synonym of Jossed? FYI, I will never be able to read them as synoyms, LOL, though it's exactly this confusion which has prevented me from every using the word, though it would appear I've been Kripke'd my fair share of times. And that still doesn't sound right. I think this is one time when maybe the urban dictionary took their defintion from common use rather than actual, but that's my guess.
Oh, and I had to construct this post in about five minutes, so I'm sure there are better ways to word the poll and the answers, but um, read my mind... *sends psychic vibes*
