j. random
(foldoc) | J. Random
/J rand'm/ (Generalised from J. Random Hacker)
Arbitrary; ordinary; any one; any old. "J. Random" is often
prefixed to a noun to make a name out of it. It means roughly
"some particular" or "any specific one". "Would you let
J. Random Loser marry your daughter?" The most common uses
are "J. Random Hacker", "J. Random Loser", and "J. Random
Nerd" ("Should J. Random Loser be allowed to gun down other
people?"), but it can be used simply as an elaborate version
of random in any sense.

j. random hacker
(foldoc) | J. Random Hacker
/J rand'm hak'r/ MIT jargon for a mythical figure;
the archetypal hacker nerd.
This may originally have been inspired by "J. Fred Muggs", a
show-biz chimpanzee whose name was a household word back in
the early days of TMRC, and was probably influenced by
J. Presper Eckert (one of the co-inventors of the electronic
computer).
See random, Suzie COBOL.
