What Does This Mean?
Short for "unjerk": a tag used in circlejerk-style communities to signal that the writer is dropping the joke persona and speaking sincerely. It is typed as "/uj" before or around a serious comment in a parody thread.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""/uj Honestly, the original post is a good guide for beginners, so thanks for sharing it. /rj Anyway, worst take ever.""
LORE & ORIGIN
Wiktionary lists /uj as an abbreviation of unjerk, which it defines as quitting participation in a circle jerk, with rejerk as the antonym; neither entry gives citations or a date. The circlejerk sense used on Reddit refers to communities that parody the self-congratulation of other communities, as described in Wikipedia's article on the circle jerk. No dated first use of the /uj tag is documented here. It follows the same pattern as tone tags such as /s, and is the counterpart of /rj.
