Joss means to be a bite sized elf that loves santa and is very cute and little. A Joss will grow in the future to be big and stong and will become a professional skier.

Jossing: When one adamantly insists they'll be available for a party when they're entirely incapable of actually participating.
Dude the other night I was invited to play online and I didn't have the game installed so I was totally Jossing it and kept telling everyone I'd play.

Joss is a very kind individual. He’s generous and considerate, he’s funny and sweet. He’s anything a woman could possibly want in a man. He’s a beautiful person inside and out. The perfect boyfriend, the perfect son, and the perfect brother. He’s adorable and manly and sexy all at the same time. He’s also smart and really thought out. He won’t hesitate to speak his mind and tell you what he thinks. He’s very curious and likes to learn about new things. Joss is a fair person. A Joss is perfect.
