JAQ off en · VERB
Etymology
Blend of JAQ (“just asking questions”) + jack off (“to masturbate”); because of the former phrase originally chiefly used in the gerund form, and so coined by a user of the James Randi Educational Foundation’s International Skeptics Forum on 14th September 2006 about truthers.
Meanings
- (derogatory, slang) To ask loaded questions inviting someone to justify their views or behaviors, in an attempt to make one's tangential accusations of little verisimilitude appear acceptable.
