This word is utterly useless unless the name of the woman to whom you are writing has a J at the beginning of one of her given names. Suggestions include Janis Joplin, Jennifer Jones, Juliet (don't send her one if Romeo is standing in the wings).
The women need some suggestions too so how about Jesse James or Jack Jones

Adjacents

Since “locals” are also used to describe boring people, “adjacents” would be the epitome of dry, basic ass people with no personality.

(Ex: adjacents):
“Did you see Mary send another vsco girl meme to the group chat thinking it’s still funny in October of 2019? What a local.”

“Local is an understatement. She’s an adjacent.”

Tyrone, who is an African American rapper, believes that immigrants are a drain the economy because they take jobs away from real, honest Americans. Tyrone is also, not percieved to be black by mainstream America because of his dyed blond hair, light skin and unslanted eyes. Tyrone reaps the benefits of white privilege. Tyrone makes zero effort to correct her co-workers who refer to him as white. Tyrone, is white adjacent.

White Adjacent

A term originating in the Black community as a response to the popularization of the term "person of color" (POC).

Refers to any person that is at least part Asian, Native American, Latinx, or another demographic that is simultaneously non-Black and non-white. The only people who are not white adjacent are white people and Black people. The point of the term is to separate Black people, who are people of color (POC), from ethnicities and races that are not technically white but still fully benefit from white privilege.

Remember, there is no such thing as a light skinned person of color.

You can't be racist to Asian people because they're white adjacent. "Stop Asian Hate" was about racial prejudice against Asian communities, not racism. It's the same reason you can't be racist to white people or white passing people like Andrew Yang and AOC.
