Letters for my son: 22 days ’til college

Posted on July 26, 2008 by marijean

The boy made a list of items he needs for college. Peppered throughout is his new favorite word: janx. The list includes items such as the following:

  1. Shower janx
  2. Stain removal Janx
  3. Toiletry janx

Janx is interchangeable with Junk, or stuff. I hear it so often it has almost infiltrated my own vocabulary. I don’t know where it came from, but I am resisting the urge to adopt it. However, it is amazing how much janx I must buy this kid before he leaves.

    Am planning on dropping “janx” into my vocab to measure the response.
    I’ll keep you posted.
