John-ing

The state of going through "the struggle", simply not thriving.

Joe: "Damn bro, I'm straight john-ing right now."
Tina: "I'm sorry your life sucks."

Johning

When your friend John starts Johning in soccer at lunchtime, by selling out his whole team

John has the ball, then kicks and misses the goal 5 feet in front of him.

We call it Johning!!!

Johning is the act of making excuses for your loss upon losing a game, the most popular explanation being a "faulty" controller. It's most commonly seen among Smash Brothers and FPS (CoD, Valorant, OW, etc) gamers. Someone who frequently johns after a game is called a john, Mr. John or simply John. See also "Salty".

An example of johning:

(Player 1 attempts to perform a recovery but fails miserably, ending the match)

Player 2: Ha! I won fair and square!
Player 1: Dude, my controller was definitely faulty. Those buttons were sticky, thats why I didn't get my up special.
Player 2: You're blatantly johning, were you even *trying* to recover?
