A term used in New Jersey to what would be generally equivalent to the southern expression dumbass. Derived from the old expression your dumb as a ox. Jerky is a dead ox. This implies an existential component and could have death cult affiliation. Lou Decaffeinate along with Jay and Silent Bob are well documented public utterances of this term in the mainline media. Also [crank call] humor the Jerky Boys. Gabo de la [Guerra] of 91.7 [KOOP] FM in Austin is a well know Jerky.
