Jay is a person, and the picture that was written on invokes the same feeling that this Jay does, the picture is Jay AF.

This is most likely the correct answer. Jay Is probably either a classmate she has a crush on, or a celebrity that she she has a crush on.
I'm going to just assume it's Jay Mohr. He's dreamy.
Why is your comment yellow for me? I'm using the browser.
Maybe don't use highlighter markers on your monitor?
(But seriously, it's no different color than other comments in this thread for me. Maybe it was a "new" post for you when you wrote that and the rest weren't?)
You're probably right. I'll stop coloring on my monitor.
Because it was a new comment then, so it got highlighted. As of Lemmy 0.19.0-rc.5 it's orange. Or yellow. I don't know what it really is.
Thank you!
i would guess theres a boy at her school who fits into that picture for her.
Jay is more than likely a person, because I don't think the kids are trying to bring back the old slang "jay" which was a somewhat derogatory term meaning "rube" given the context here.
TIL the word rube
a somewhat derogatory term meaning “rube”
Also where the term "jaywalking" comes from.
My wild guess: “Jay” stands for “Jordans”, that is, a pair of shoes which are deemed to be very cool by most kids.
So, “Jay AF” could mean “cool as fuck”.
Jay = gay?
Are you trying to jaslight me?
You must be goking.
It's "jif" not "gif"
I won't blame them for that!
Never heard it myself, but Urban Dictionary says it's an actually amazing person.
Whenever you look up names on urban dictionary you have to remember it's mostly middle schoolers trying to boost their own ego or signal to others that they're hot
Doesn't it say that about every name?
Sometimes you see one written by someone who hates a person with that name.

Jay, obviously, is a person who isn’t from the city — hence the term, Jaywalking! JK, but that is a real thing. It’s probably not the real answer here.
