Joeling is the deliberate practice of publicly expressing pessimism about one’s fantasy football matchup—often within a group chat—with the strategic intent of deflecting expectations, influencing superstition, and inviting favorable outcomes through reverse psychology. The act typically involves exaggerated doubt, self-deprecation, or preemptive concession, despite underlying confidence in a potential victory.
The group chat immediately recognized the joeling when he claimed his season was over right after the draft.

Get the Joeling mug.by jchemv January 5, 2017
Get the Lebron Johning mug.The violent shaking of the jowls whilst reacting to the ever-changing unfactual ridiculous hesteria over Corona virus media posts and Friends Facebook propaganda. Often associated with the re-telling or re-tweeting of a Corona virus event not substantiated by any fact or authority.
Did you hear that bill got the corona virus from his goldfish!! (He had no symptoms and made a full recovery)....corona-jowling

Get the Corona-Jowling mug.A type of dive you would do at a pool, called Elton Johning because it replicates the feeling of listening to a really good Elton John song. When the water level is about the same height as ledge in a deep area, one will somersault into the water while plugging nose with fingers so water does not rush up their nose. Instead of immediately coming back up to the surface for a breath you would stay in the water for a few seconds as your body is slowly brought back up to the surface until you need to catch a breath.
Past tense: Elton Johned
Past tense: Elton Johned
Person 1: My favorite part of visiting the swimming pool is Elton Johning!
Person 2: Me too! It evokes the same feeling as listening to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road's chorus!
Person 1: Are you ready to leave the pool yet?
Person 2: Not yet! I haven't even Elton Johned yet!

Get the Elton Johning mug.Person one:“yeah bro, I have controller drift so I’m probably going to suck.” Person 2:“Dude, stop pre-johning and just play the game.” ( The catch is that he doesn’t have controller drift and just sucks.)
