Apparently you didn't catch that first paragraph there, where _I_ warned
that it was NOT canon.  I have read the story behind this word before.  I
just didn't know if it was used as a noun (yID jIH), or as a verb (jIyID).
And I have seen it used more than once; it does have meaning (canon or not).  :P
