An action or motion that combines the devastating kinetic forces of simultaneous jerking and yanking to a vital audio cable or cord, almost exclusively a 3.5mm audio signal cable connected to a personal audio listening or
communication device, or a stereo input jack - detrimentally affecting its performance and is usually a total loss of all audio
functionality for the hapless user. Often, loss of self control or
irrationality immediately take place; and commonly, self-blame, self-abuse, blood-letting sex rituals, or even long-term insanity can follow in the wake of these unsettling incidents. Usually, janking occurs
accidentally by the user themselves or by the extreme carelessness (or abuse) by other people or misuse of their property. A truly modern epidemic that knows no bounds and does not descriminate against age, race, spiritual beliefs, time, lifestyle, sexuality, location, hygiene, physics, uncertainty principles, or moral codes; even Karma appears to have no connection to this anomaly. These actions tragically result in the potential total loss of millions of wired headphones and headsets across the globe each year. It strikes with no warning or predictor. Saddest of all, the victims are left to cope without the usage of these millions of perfectly decent working everyday headphones - rendered useless and are lost in an instant.
