Joeling

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.

Elton Johning

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
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!

pre-johning

the act of blaming your terrible gaming skills before the game even started.
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.)
