Jeet Kune Do 

Jeet Kune Do, or the Art of the Intercepting Fist, is a style or concept of martial arts originally conceived of by famous actor and fighter Bruce Lee. It is based on a philosophy of simplicity, directness and freedom, and is frequently referred to as having no particular style. Lee’s creation relies on strong offensive action to succeed, and is considered by many to be a predecessor of mixed martial arts forms.
Jeet Kune Do was initially looked at with considerable disdain by masters of traditional martial arts forms. As Lee began training others in his forms, he stressed individuality in movement, practice through matches rather than memorization of solo forms, and above all, simplicity of movement. In essence, the purpose of the form is to win a fight, not to prove you’re a well-trained fighter.

A derogatory term for someone considered "socially inept" but still lovable. Someone who, although has a good heart and intentions, tends to fail immensely at every turn, and constantly put their foot in their mouth. An action performed by such a person can also be called a jeef.

Jeet Kune Do 

Translated from Cantonese to English means "The Way of the Intercepting Fist".

A more scientific martial art than pretty much any other. It is inspired by the combination of the Tao (Chinese philosophical way of life) and various styles of Gung fu. Instead of practicing forms or "ways" Bruce Lee thought you should practice being formless like water. It is one of the only martial arts that does not emphasize defense. Bruce Lee thought that being defensive allows the opponent to set the tone and tempo of the fight. Rather it emphasized the theory of interception (hence the name) for instance, the leg is just about twice as long as the arm so if your enemy loves using punches or other hand techniques you can intercept his kick before his fist can contact because you have the range advantage, kind of like a knife against a staff.
Bruce Lee: Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You can put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot, put it in a bottle it becomes the bottle. Now water can flow, or CRASH! Be water my friend.

In crypto trading, someone who sells pretty much no matter what. One or two red candles? Expect jeet panick selling. Also known for selling at a profit so low that it doesnt even cover the tax, and doing so for no reason.

Generally there are two theories about the words origin:

1) Jeet = didja eat/ja'eat? Since they're always readily taking no or zero profit, perhaps because they need a dollar menu somewhere to sustain themselves.

2) Jeet = pajeet. Because they flood the group chats of all the tokens, ask if they should invest $10,000 as if they have $10,000, ask a million questions about the token and make demands of the developer, etc. At some point they quietly throw in what is usually an amount 100 times smaller than what they were talking about in chat...only to pull it for literally any reason in the world.
