Kripke'd? Clarification of Term and Poll....

[ht_murray]

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*

I voted for choice number two, if only becuase I actually wrote In My Time of Dying the May before it aired ;)

Actually, I think super-wiki defines it as Number 1. Getting Kripke'd is the oppostie of being Jossed, from what I understand.

LOL< I know what you mean. Both the car scene in Fresh blood and the singing of Wanted Dead or Alive were in my fics months before they were in the show, but I still feel like Kripke'd means the same as Jossed and the super-wiki just went with the popular useage. It just doesn't make sense to me that two such similar words would mean the exact opposite unless they expect everyone who uses them to be in both fandoms and thus need them to be opposite. But then, it's probably just easier not to use it at all.

I find it funny that more people still said they thought it meant the same as Jossed even after I said that the definition seems to be the opposite. And most of the people who agreed with the definition voted that after they I edited the post. Hmmm. This is one of those cases where I kinda wish we could track down the original person who used it and ask. I think someone actually tracked down the very first wincest fic over on storyfinders once. You'd think it would be possible to figure this one out, too.
