Have you ever encountered this word? Well, honestly when I first heard this word, I immediately think of my favorite cartoon series “Digimon Adventure” because I thought they are trying to say “digimon” short for digital monsters, the general term to all pocket monsters.
However, when I begun to do research on this word, I was actually amazed of what I have discovered. I come to realize why I had that reaction; it’s mainly because I am not one of them which also the reason why I am not familiar with the term.
For the information of the reader like me, I would like to define what “jejemon” is and to give exact example for you to understand what kind of people using or tolerating this and their reasons behind.
- Is either a noun or adjective.
- A person used to replace vowels with consonants in typing a word or constructing a sentence.
- An individual that is believed with a very low Intelligence Quotient (IQ).
- Somebody who devastates language ethics by posting a comment through social networking sites like Facebook or replying a message using cell phone.
- Somebody who was not educated with language secrecy and pretends to know or used it with their own idea or decree.
- A term used by an individual who enjoys typing – “jejejeje” when laughing or expressing happy emotions or thoughts. Like scorning enemy in internet games such as Dota and Ragnarok.
How to identify jejemon fellows?
They do not have the ability to express their self in English language properly. Basically, they have low knowledge in grammar, punctuation marks, and vocabulary.
They are just illiterate pretending to be literate in terms of language structure.
Their names usually start with El followed by Spanish or Portuguese word.
They tend to incorporate too much letters or symbols in typing or constructing a word or a statement even in their very own names or aliases.
Sentence 1: e0wSsZz pOwhhZzmUsZtAhH nUah pOwhHzz kEowHsz.
Sentence 2: miSzMaldiTahh111 here EoW pFuOh! PuNtah TyO0 ZtArBuckKzz! Jejejejeje!”
Sentence 3: pFroUwd 2 b @ jEJ3mOn!
Now tell me, are you a “jejemon”? If you are, you better shape up. You are not showing a good example to each and everyone. Most of all, you are an embarrassment to your language teacher, language professor, language mentor, even to your family and in your own self. Why? Because, you are destroying the language work of art.
What is Leet?
Is this the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) which is conducted by the Philippine Regulatory Board (PRC)? No, that is LET, I mean leet.
Leet -a special annual or semiannual court in which the lords of certain manors had jurisdiction over local disputes. Yes but, that is not what I mean. I mean the 1337 (leet) which has famous meaning over the net:
The term leet is derived from elite. This is a figurative representation that used abbreviations, numbers and misspellings to avoid words be detected by searches and filters. The idea of abbreviated words was first used in networked computers during 1960s when transmitting data rates were so slow, the reason why they attempt to shorten words such as “@” for “at” and “be” for “b”.
In the year 1980s, leet was originated. This is used to illustrate status on a Bulletin Board System (BSS) to allow a user to access the files, games, and chat rooms. This is used to overcome text filters created by BBS to daunt discussing banned topic such as cracking and hacking. They tend to used ASCII characters and misspelled words. Using ASCII characters is also one way of detecting one has knowledge in computer. Leet is simplest sense is similar to encrypting a word.
In the long run, 1337 became popular over the net but its main purpose is hardly practiced rather this was used for fun, the internet way of being cool by many people. Leet is also often called as internet slangs. It may take time to acquire this knowledge however; you may start this by knowing the 1337 alphabet.
A /-\ or /\ or 4 or @
B |3 or 8 or |o
C ( or < or K or S D |) or o| or |> or <|
E 3
F |= or ph
G ( or 9 or 6
H |-| or ]-[ or }-{ or (-) or )-( or #
I l or 1 or | or ! or ][
J _|..............
Common words used in 1337 speak:
Like = leik
Own = pwn
Pwned = pwnt
You = j00
Hacks = Haxz0rz
Lol = lawl
OMG = ZOMG
The = T3h
Suck = sux
The origin of leet speaks is as follows:
leet comes from:
Elite » leet » 1337
Words like "plz" come from:
Please » pleas » ples » pls » plz
Well I got to go » Got to go » gotta
go » got 2 go » gtg » g2g
What's up? » Wasup? » Sup?
I'm laughing out loud! » I'm loling! » lol
I'll be right back » I'll b right back » I'll b rite bac » brb

…….for me using that kind of language is so irritating and its an insult to our respective Teachers who work hard just to teach their students to use correct words and correct spellings…..and one more thing according to a friend in the church that language is use by the enemy or the Devil to deceive people so i suggest that its better not to use that kind of language in text or any form of conversation….Thank a lot…GOD BLESS US………
