oxymoron or true?  as holden caufield would say *it's all fake!*

That's the type of Jazz I play.  I just hit a bunch of random notes and chords with even more random timing.  Should a note sound especially bad, I make sure to go back to it and hit it again with emphasis to let everyone know I meant to do it.

Hi Fiev?

Scholars think Jasm derives from or is a variant of slang jism or gism, which the Historical Dictionary of American Slang dates to 1842 and defines as "spirit; energy; spunk." Jism also means semen or sperm, the meaning that predominates today, making jism a taboo word. Deepening the nexus among these words is the fact that "spunk" is also a slang term for semen, and that "spunk"—like jism/jasm—also means spirit, energy, or courage (for example: "She showed a lot of spunk.") In the 19th and early 20th centuries, however, jism was still used in polite contexts. Jism, or its variant jizz (which, however, is not attested in theHistorical Dictionary of American Slang until 1941), has also been suggested as a direct source for jazz. A direct derivation from jism is phonologically unlikely.Jasm itself would be, according to this assumption, the intermediary form.

Seeing the new, um, direction this is taking...  I'll slip this IBTL!

Oh come now, we're all adults.  That's from wikipedia.  That's the etymology of the word *jazz*.  Seems pretty essential or true, in other words can't be faked.  So why do they say *fake it till ya make it?*

They don't want to admit that they're losers? 

Oh Craig, I'm sure you're not a loser....:D
