Yes, Jizz.
Jizz was first mentioned in canon in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi junior novelization, authored by Ryder Windham and released in 2017.
Oh, then they absolutely knew.
The Return of the Jedi novelization introduced the term “jizz-wailer” to describe a musician, but the term “jizz” as the name of the musical style was not introduced until the publication of Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, twelve years later.
The original RotJ novelization was released in 1983. Don’t discount Legends!
Yeah, that unfortunate term has been around forever. I think I first ran across it in a West End Games sourcebook from 1990-ish.
To be fair, it was probably more common at the time to know that Jazz has an identical etymology.
Especially this one:
I just applied for my UK passport and the photo I gave to them was me in a red T-shirt with the TOS delta on it. I’m guessing the delta will be cropped out, but here’s hoping.
Are you sure Riker doesn’t perform jizz?
Riker got that taken care of before even joining the academy.
All crew report for mandatory jizz-ectomy
I have never watched even a single episode of Star Trek, but I like you guys for your memes.
Well, there’s a bit of everything in the fandom. What sort of series and movies do you like? I’m sure we’ll be stumbling to recommend you specific episodes Abe possibly even a movie or two.
(TBH I don’t care much for the movies, expect for the Kelvin timeline, for which I’m sure I’ll burn at the stake.)
Start with Star Trek: The Next Generation, and move on from there. The first season has some quirks, but by the second it’s solid gold.
I started watching TNG just recently and am nearly done with season 2. Season 1 is not nearly as bad as the internet led me to believe, and honestly I kinda miss some things from it a little bit.

Okay, call off the mob!
If I don’t click it, the mob looks like a disco ball on my phone.
Nah, just convert it into a party!?:-P🥳🎉
A watch party!
A watch party at Quark’s!
Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is fun! Come right now, watch reruns!
The mob is carrying DVD copies of DS9 … the dogs are strays they found along the way and they’re taking care of them … the torches are there because they drained the batteries on their smartphones downloading ‘Wrath Of Khan’ for you to watch.
They’re yelling, “LIVE LONG AND PROSPER, DAMN YOU!”
Ya like Jizz?
Some of those jizz wailers have some real spunk to play in a dive bar in Mos Eisley
I’ve been watching star trek (TNG, DS9, Voyager) and still don’t get the red shirt reference. I know it’s about them getting killed all the time but I just don’t see it.

In TOS, there were more characters in red shirts than any other color. So of course most deaths were characters wearing a red shirt. Proportionally, I believe it was actually yellow with the highest mortality rate.
The meme is from TOS. Not as many people died in the newer ones.
A simple pie chart reveals 55 total deaths and, yes, red shirts perished in frightening numbers. A whopping 24 died, compared to 9 in yellow/gold command and 7 in blue, with 15 crossing into the final frontier in unidentified colors
https://www.startrek.com/news/did-redshirts-really-die-more-often-on-tos
They swapped the red and gold job responsibilities between TOS and TNG. In 90s trek, it’s the gold shirts dying most often
It’s a running gag more than anything. The idea is Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Ensign Smith in a red shirt beam down to the dangerous planet. Who dies?
Obviously the one who is not one of the lead actors, whose character usually doesn’t have a name, no lines, never appeared, and is from security and tasked to protect the captain and jump first in combat is going to survive.
Ensign Smith:
Cause you didn’t watch the series the meme is made upon (TES)
The edgy series? The excellent series? The ecstatic series? The evil series? The Elvin series? The e-coli series? The epinephrine series?
:p
I had to.
Well done, well deserved

I’d suspect you of having a snake in your belly.

Well… Star Wars does have a character named Sleazebaggano… So…
One preaches hope for a better future
One preaches a never ending cycle of ambition, corruption, and cruelty.
Who would have ever thought time would prove Star Wars more thematically realistic 😂
Star Wars was based on the past but set in the future. They borrowed “stormtroopers” from Hitler. The space battles are just like WWII dogfights. Star Wars was never looking forward it was looking backwards.
With that logic, Star Trek is the same.
It is based upon submarine life. Even going as far as using the boatswain whistle and radar sounds at the controls.
You’re talking about the organization of the ships crew, they’re taking about overarching styles and themes.
Yeah but we need more submarine movies. If I have to pretend, I’ll pretend.
The audacity of people, he wants a submarine movie to Boot.
I’d love to see Disney try out a sort of anthology of short seasons that all share thematic elements of WW2 that made the OT such a spectacle, but do like 4-8 episodes about a given person/squad/ship/squadron/station/agent/whatever…tell one good solid story about that subject then move on.
I’d love for one of those seasons to follow a light capital ship with 1-2 squadrons of fighters, and model it with elements of the carrier war in the Pacific mixed with a submarine movie theme.
Have them playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with a much larger ISD or Victory, both stuck in a nebula. They both get their hits in that cause grave damage, but both crews hang in there and stick to the mission.
How it ends is anyone’s guess, but I could absolutely see plenty of room in that framework for intense scenes of sensors crews glued to their stations, hoping to go unnoticed, or desperately searching for any sign of their foe…
One of my favorite fun facts: “Balance of Terror” was the original Star Trek episode to introduce Romulans, and the first to feature space combat against a near peer adversary.
The screenplay for that episode actually was for a submarine movie, and it got readapted.
If your interstellar society has slavery, I’m not interested. Didn’t the Jedi free Luke and just leave his mom in captivity?
Way too many Star Wars fans like the Empire for my taste. (And the rebels aren’t much better, if they’re better at all.)
Unfortunately the last few pieces of SW media I saw the only interesting characters were imperials.
That was Anakin Not his son Luke. And Qui-gon tried to free Shmi as well but Watto was too resilient.
And when Qui-gon realized he couldn’t cheat hard enough for both slaves, he just… didn’t try to get the funds together? Come up with some other sort of trade?
To be fair he died in a war like 5 minutes later
Total stranger in a Stargate T shirt. They probably have way more firepower, and enough C4 to solve all my problems.
When people conjure mental male representation of Star Wars, they think of fat neckbeard Lucas and the lizard. When they think of Star Trek, they imagine sly silver fox Picard and Datas most probable mechanical prowess.
This tracks.
Probably because of the virtues that each fan seem to seek with their choice…
Sometimes, late at night, the Jizz band starts playing more schmaltzy. Schmaltzy Jizz.
Ew.
I refuse to apologize.
