Jack in the Box

A stand-in name for any company you have ever worked for. Use this to avoid any awkward references to a previous employer (similarly, you should avoid mentioning the name of previous boyfriends/girlfriends while your current partner is present).

This meme started in 2014 as an inside joke between two data scientists, Steve and Spencer, who are working for a major video game company in Boulder, CO. It is a reference to their colleague, Adam, who actually worked at Jack in the Box corporate headquarters (and speaks often of it fondly).

Since then it has spread to studios in Los Angeles, Seattle, and the UK. There are first-hand reports that the meme has also been spotted in the wild at Microsoft.

Jack wagon

n. Slang term derived from the Freight or Chow wagons used in the late 19th century. These were often the last wagons in a wagon train, making them the least favorable to drive due to the dust, waste, and debris from the front of the train.

When used as in insult it refers to one's lack of intelligence, implying the insultee is capable of no more than operating a Chow wagon.

Jack Chick

Sort of like Jerry Falwell, but Jack Chick writes comics. Common themes include Catholics, Muslims, and anyone who isn't Jack Chick going to hell. God is a reoccuring character in his comics, depicted as a giant guy with no face who sends people to hell nonstop.

Jack Chick Is anti-catholic, halloween, rock 'n roll, D and D, Muslim, Jew, evolution, and apparently satan. Canada is anti-Jack Chick.

Jack Chick's form of Christianity consists of not going to church, not doing good works, telling people they're going to hell, and believing in Jesus really, really hard.
Ben: Hey, you wanna go worship satan in Canada while listening to Rock 'n Roll on Halloween while playing D and D and practicing the Jewish faith?

Nick: Nah, Jack Chick said not to do that.
