What is a Jejemon?
It’s been the talk of the town for the past few days and the chatter is very evident online where people searched for it (It was the most searched keyword in Yahoo! Philippines last week Friday) and discussed it on blogs and social media sites. So what is a Jejemon? And why is it suddenly being talked about?
The country editor of Yahoo! Philippines decided to bring this question to the Answers community: “What is a ‘jejemon’ and why the sudden popularity?” Almost 400 of you shared what you know about the Jejemon and it certainly helped enlighten a lot of people about it.
Answers user Demi-LAncer gave the best answer to the question. He shared that word “jejemon” was most likely derived from two words, “jeje” and “Pokemon”. “Jeje” came from the onomatopoeia for laugh, “hehehe”, but with the “h” replaced with a “j”.
Community member Momonja defined “jejemon” as someone who purposely changes the spelling of typewritten words by alternating uppercase and lowercase letters, replacing letters with other characters, and by adding more characters to the spelling to create a different looking word but pronounced similarly (but with exaggeration) to the original word.
To better understand this concept, here’s a comparison of a normal text and its jejemon version:
Normal: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
Jejemon: dhUh qW!k vr0uwN phF0uX jumF3d 0v3r t3h L@izey dhouG
Plok explained that the jejemon “language” is in a way similar to l33t-5p34/< (for leet-speak) and LOL-speak, both products of the early days of chatting online (IRC-talk) and text lingo, but different in that the purpose of this is not to abbreviate or shorten words or phrases but simply to create a different (although more complicated) way of spelling words.
This phenomenon has transcended beyond language and evolved to an actual sub-culture. It has come to describe the local “gangstahs” who dress up in a certain way (ever seen someone wear a “jeje-cap”?) and act differently as well.
So why all the talk about this right now? Well, we have to thank presidential candidate Gibo Teodoro for this (or at least the person who photo-shopped his image). Here’s the image that started all the talk:
I hope that clears the “mystery” behind the Jejemons. Got any other question about the jejemons? Please leave a comment below and I’ll do my best to get more answers through the Answers community in the next post.

Jejejejejejejjeje!
that made my day!
I believe laughing in text/chat in “jejeje” manner started as a typographical error (since H and J are beside each other on the keyboard, and has 1 key press difference when texting.) From then on, it was somehow accepted in the SMS/chat world.
Additional info: Jejemons also user punctuation marks as ‘design’ in their texts, like typing multiple periods or commas before the actual message or instead of using a period to end a sentence, they use commas, … tuLaD p0H nG gaNit0 jejeje,,
From my point of view it probably began on internet games where foul language is prohibited. If you were a gamer before you probably know what I am saying, where chat box for the game quickly detects foul language and changes them into **** or a different word, and for such reason these gamers who probably wants to taunt his opponent will make another way to be able to say these words (some words which are not also foul sometimes becomes included in the chat box program banned list, maybe by some programming error).And so these gamers tend to change the letter e to number 3, I to number 1, Sa to number 5 and so on. Others change the spelling as long as it sounds like the original word, just to be able to disregard the anti-foul language program of the game.
And from my point view some people used this habit on internet gaming in sending SMS, and also in social networking websites like Friendster, which was popular when internet games became a flick.
Is this really issue that we should be aware about?
If reading such “Jejemon” phrases really annoys you, then why bother to read it or make a deal out of it, unless you really want to read this stuff and then get annoyed.
Is reading this “dhUh qW!k vr0uwN phF0uX jumF3d 0v3r t3h L@izey dhouG” makes you stupid?
From my point of view, I guess not. Actually it gives my mind a little exercise to decode this. Like from what I saw from a website that shows this passage:
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteers be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.”
The worst part of this issue is that it became others made it fun in criticizing other people, which is very rude.
For me a better way dealing for these type of issue is “IGNORE”. If you don’t like it “ignore it” why make a big deal out of it. It takes only seconds to ignore it and then continue with your day rather than get annoyed and make your day not right.
the one that goes by the name anonymous is funny.. why comment if you yourself took the time to read the said blog.. very ironic di ba. popost na iniinsulto ung mga tao and kukuha lang ako ng quote sa comment niya. ” For me a better way dealing for these type of issue is “IGNORE”. If you don’t like it “ignore it” why make a big deal out of it. It takes only seconds to ignore it and then continue with your day rather than get annoyed and make your day not right.” si anonymous talaga ay nakakatawa.. =D
for me, from my point of view.. “hehehe” was replaced by “jejeje” its because its too tiring to press key 4 twice to make “hehe”.. so texters who wants to response to text as fast as they could.. “jejeje” would be much faster to create or whatsoever… and then as signature purposes, they will make their message as unique as they could ..thank you.. hehe.. (im not that good in english) weewwww…..that was hard.. hahaha
Well, On my Opinion. I like reading messages from “Jejemons”
They make my day by saying weird stuff.
LOL!
The letter J in English language has a different pronunciation from the letter J in Spanish language. Now you know.
how can i remember that jejemon keyword can i search it on the web
plszzz add me on FAC3Buk

tahnks
For some reason, the debate on whether or not the new trend by the “jejemons” is good or bad, interests me. personally, I think their way of typing is…annoying. [:
From texting, they made their way over to friendster (eww), then..for some reason..they all made facebook accounts, wherein all they do is play farmville/fishville/petsociety and the like. Srsly.
Like, I think it’s better for them to type normally, since like others say, it’s becoming a barrier instead of being a medium of communication. So yeaaah.
Idk.
i just feel like typing todaaaay. 
I remember my teachers telling us never to use ‘textspeak’ because it bastardizes language. Now we have jejemons.
How can we be globally competitive if we tolerate this?
People tend to type their words in SMS as short as they can so that it would not consume multiple pages . But as these people ( jejemons ) appeared , they changed some people’s point of view .. They use more special characters to made their words longer .. and sometimes they call it “cool” .
Some also says that Jejemons type their words almost the same as Leet Speakers .. But for me , they’re not ..
I find jejemons VAIN in typing .. It may be an excuse if they just replace some of the letters with some numbers and special characters , but they don’t ..
for example :
Normal : The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
Jejemon : dhUh qW!k vr0uwN phF0uX jumF3d 0v3r t3h L@izey dhouG
– in this case , words by jejemons were prolonged by excessive letters .. meaning , they don’t just replace letters but also add more of them .
I just do not want the Jejemon Language to be accepted in this society , though Philippines is a Democratic Country . Like now, this language is spreading .. What if the children nowdays read a jejelanguage and applied it into themselves ? Does it make them smart at their schools ? Does it teaches them the Standard way of typing ?
~ Just shared my opinion .. [:
it doesn’t really matter if being jejemonish is used purely for fun but hoping not on sincere and serious messages………..
The sad thing is, these jejemons don’t really know that we dislike them. I know a couple jeje’s on facebook (they should go back to PhRenDdStHerR), and they joined the fanpage “Gotta kill them all, jejemons!”. It only shows they just wanna “fit in” by doing what other people do (which is to hate Jejemons). They lack so much education, they don’t even know what a jejemon is.
Well, I’m voting for Gibo. If anyone could be president, he might as well make this country better. Ibalik and mga jejemon sa elementarya. ((=
But seriously, it’s sad to know that jejemons are gawa ng pinoy. Everyone has to fix this now.
don’t you think it’s only a waste of time, money and effort in texting/typing those long lunatic words. what are we really heading to if we adopt this “jejemonic” culture?
mas madali kzi ityp ang J kesa sa H un lang!
Jeje is the Spanish for Hehe. Its the sound one makes when laughing. It is not a typo. Its a misuse.
akala ko kung anong bagong anime show to…or jpop culture na naman…haha..personally i dont text that way, and i find it very annoying..
Hi, 8s mHe pOgs…Hahaha! I really Laugh when Jejemon Name Came or inter into a Social Networking…cOz me my self would be used the shortcut word…iTs a wAy also to be understood of Communication tru text, chat or emails…I Love iT…thanks Jejemon…
I think the way jejemons type their words is not really annoying. They practically use it at times they wanted to have fun conversations or when they are bored. I don’t think they are using such language on business letters, school papers, legal documents, and the likes.
And i realy don’t think that writing their language is a form of idiocy. People who may think that way are narrow minded. Actually, they are tricking your mind so that you could process more out of your head. Come on! It’s a kind of exercise.ü
if you don’t want their thing, just let them be. But don’t insult them or any over acting thing. There are still people. It’s like looking at one’s religion: if you don’t believe them, respect them.ü
a friendly reminder: let there be peace on earth.ü dzhiosque.
Oh. my email. ü
you can add me if you want. I would like to have meaningful, neutral and optimistic discussions.ü
davi.babao@ymail.com
for some reason people consider being a jejemon tantamount to being cheap, uneducated or uncool. much of a turn off for others. well, as for me, its just plain irritating, not that I consider it as a typing manner for the lower classes of society, but it just overly violates the use of proper english.
Ive been hearing about this Jejemon a week ago on TV (it’s Showtime), FB Posts, FB & Friendster Friends, Topics.. Thanks for this website, now i know who these Jejemons are.. Dont be so mean guys about Jejemons, Maybe they are just Artistic People or Teenegers exploring things out of their puberty. We have different styles and beliefs so mind your own business. hehehe dont get hooked up by this! We got a Lot of Things to do… smile
Jejemon, meaning? Laugh lang po? O ano?

… i hate.. that corny word… i don’t mind reading those typings, (as long as i can understand it). i just hate how other people call it.. jeje-(di ko pa matapos sa kakornihan)… Damn! napaka korny.. sobrang nonsense, walang kwentang salita.. mas nakaka pikon ung mga taong gumagamit ng salitang “jejemon” kesa sa mga taong gumagamit ng ganitong style..
idol na sana kita g1bo, kaso… wth? pati ikaw? nasama sa mga kalokohan ng mga kabataan ngayon? you should know better.. at isa pa , mas lalong lumalala ang ganitong sitwasyon kung ippublicize mo ang mga ganyang bagay.. nakakalungkot isipin..
please, bawas bawasan na o kung pwede e, wag nang gamitin ang term na yan.. pang bading lang mga ganyang salita, (no offence poooooo ^^)
lol !
- minsan po kasi nakakairita bumasa ng mga SMS kpag di po tama yung pagkakatype.. mhirap kc intindihin ehh.. taz, mali pa yung pagkakagamit ng mga punctuation marks kaya di mo ma determine kung nagtatanong ba cya o nag iinform.. tulad nlng nung isang araw, meh nagtxt sa’kin sabi:
“ahnjan nha phow claah”

ako lang ba ung na kokornihan sa salitang “jejemon”? ni hindi ko mabanggit sa mga kaklase ko kase ang ewan ng dating.. haha, oh well.. iba iba naman siguro tayong lahat ng ‘perception’ sa mga bagay bagay.. ako kasi ung tipong naiinis sa mga salitang “jejemon” “BV” “toxic” “sabaw” at iba pang mga salitang parang kaartehan.. kaya ayon.. sobrang naiinis ako dto sa salitang toh..
)
now i know.
njhoy ang lhut sa jejemon . . . . . . jejejejejeje
njhoy anG lhut sa jejemon . . . . . jejejejejeje
Well, the word “Jeje” is really a Spanish Laugh =o
All Jejemons should go back to elementary, they are like a desease that can infect our children. It should be stop and banned. This jejemons are all damn and stupid…
do some of u make it a point to criticize d way pipol respond to issues.? even if jejemons tend to type in words (or numbers or symbols or whatever..) the fact still remains that they are still human beings… Human beings who are trying to be entertained, trying to do something new… There’s nothing wrong with that… Just let them be.. Don’t judge them and don’t label them…
It may be true that they have a different way of texting or chatting but its just their way of expressing themselves…
Furthermore, they find normal texting and forms of communication quite boring so they are looking for ways to “improve” their ways of getting in touch with others… They have their own reasons… Lets not bother them… Be mad if they’re doing such things for nothing…
Besides, in a fast changing world like ours, we have to finds ways to stand out, after all, we are all merely a spec of sand in the vast shores of our planet… It’s time to move and to be recognized… It’s time to stand out…
^^ :3

I just want to share an experience. 3-4 yrs ago, when the word “jejemon” was not yet in used, I received text messages very similar to these forms from someone I don’t know. It bothered me because despite my begging the anonymous texter to stop, other texters of this kind appeared on my cfn screen,even without my texting them back.They seem to be friends communicating with secret codes. I knew the messages were not meant for me(somehow I could decode some).I thought they were a group of hackers, trying to manipulate my cfn bills.My husband somehow was able to stop them and one of them apologized politely. What disturbed me most was they kept coming back, usually on wee hours. I was also alarmed when it came into my mind that they may belong to a cult,trying to cast spells on anyone (jejemons were not yet popular that time). My husband informed them that their texts are again piling up in my cfn, but to no avail. So he flooded their cfns with messages, then only did they totally stop.
The new Jejemons today are no big deal. The original ones, years ago, intrigue me. If anyone out there can claim that he is an original jejemon, you are the most credible source of explanation. No matter how simple or insensible your cause may be, it would still be the most interesting account to hear.
y3ah!
bHoUY, mouhre phowah 2 jejemon pheophle!!!!!!!
jejeje
jejemons=kulang sa pansin
Actually, “jeje” did not start here in the Philippines. Other countries where their language does not have H like Brazil or Spain, use jeje in their text messages but it is still pronounced as hehe. The jejemon’s way of expressing themselves is comparable to the Gay lingo but why did jejemon garner such popularity? Because a lot of us use Gay lingo as a part of our normal conversation whereas we don’t use jejemon in the common vernacular. We can only see these types in SMS, online games, and chat rooms. Alam mo naman tayong mga pinoy. Kung ano ang hindi akma sa social norms natin, we label it agad. Chill peeps. Hindi pa katapusan ng mundo kung mapuno tayo ng jejemons. Ang isipin na lang natin, pano tayo makakatulong sa bansa, hindi yung pasikatin natin ang isang passing fad because we put too much attention to it.
hindi lang nila alam ang tamang spelling nang word kaya sila gayan magtxt
nu ba yan…lhat nga ng gumagamit ng ganyan ipa speach theraphy nyo na…kakaloka!…its gud being diff. in our own way pro…hello! dna kau mga baby pra mgpacute ng ganyan…nu nlang ang magiging future ng pinas sa mga gumagawa nyan…ang tama mas cool na gngawang mali?!….pro pg nging habit na…hirap na tnggalin db?…untill……poor guyz! derz too many way nman to make pacute but not dat way…kakasira ng mga titser…!
jeJejEjeJeje….in my own opinion, being under the spell of this jejemon fever should not be treated negatively…as long as these people are merely using it for fun, i see no ill consequences on it…what is important is that they can still fully delineate when it should be used appropriately & inappropriately…jAiiii hOeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEE!!!!!
tatagalugin ko na lang ang sasabihin ko dahil nakakahiya tayong mga pilipino: ingles tayo ng ingles kahit mali-mali ang grammar natin…at ginagawa natin ito habang pinagtatawanan ang mga mas hindi edukado sa atin (mga jejemon).
gayunpaman, lahat kayo ay may magagandang puntong ibinato sa usapan. ito naman ang masasabi ko sa mga jejemon:
1.) nakaka-irita nga ang mga jejemon (lahat ng ginagawa nila, ang kultura nila ay kamuhi-muhi)
2.) kung nakaka-irita sila, bakit hindi na lang pansinin? (hindi pwede kasi nakikita mo sila araw-araw at parang silang kanser na mapaminsal kung hahayaang kumalat)
3.) nakaka-bobo ang pagte-text, pagta-type at pakikipag-usap sa pamamaraang jejemon (ok lang siguro kung gusto mo inisin yung kausap mo)
suportahan po natin ang mga jeje-buster at WALA KA NANG MAKAIN, GANGSTAH KA PA DIN? movements…
maraming salamat po
0hnL! n dhu phFu!lH!pP!Hn3sz5….. pinoy lang po ba ang jejemon???
That’s why I became a jejebuster! Haha! Kill the jejemons!
no to jejemons! go3x jejebusters. let’s eradicate all the jejemons out there!
Nakaka-asar. Mga feeling cool di naman cool. Hay. Yung moderate lang na jejemon [kung jejemon pa un]tanggap q, kagaya nito: “Hello po, kmustah po? Miss q n kau nila [insert name here]. Kta tau tom?”
Maiintindihan ko pa un. [Both literally and figuratively]
But this? It’s PREPOSTEROUS!
jejejejejejeje lhurrrvh eat!!! ;p
1337 is soooo much better. At least that one doesn’t ADD spelling, like jejemons. if you were to say: SMILE, here’s the comparison:
Normal: Smile.
Jejemons: -,,,SmYleH pFoeH?,
Leet: $/\/\!L3.
See?
Don’t worry, if you don’t understand it, give it time, and you will.
jejemons are freaks.
to be honest with you, i find jejemons pretty annoying. i don’t know why, but the way they type really gets in to me. well, not just the way they type. actually, everything about them gets in to me. the way they dress, the way they socialize, the way they act, and many others. i don’t know if i’m simply prejudiced or i’m just not used to being with people like them, but i really can’t tolerate them no matter how hard i try. i can’t bring myself to respect them. i think i am slowly becoming a jejebuster even though i try not to.
anyways, enough of that. i would like to share something that i encountered in the net the other day.
JEJEMON
1) Usually seen around social networking sites such as Friendster and Multiply, jejemons are individuals with low IQs who spread around their idiocy on the web by tYpFing LyK diZS jejejeje, making all people viewing their profile raise their eyebrows out of annoyance. Normal people like you and me must take a Bachelor of Arts in Jejetyping in order to understand said individuals, as deciphering their text would cause a lot of frustration and hair pulling.
CAUTION: THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE BREEDING! THEY CAN BE SEEN WRECKING GRAMMATICAL HAVOC ON FACEBOOK TOO!
2) Jejemons are not just confined to trying-hard Filipino gangsters and emos. A Jejemon can also include a variety of Latino-Hispanic fags who enjoy typing “jejejejeje” in a wider context, much to the disdain of their opponents in an internet MMORPG game such as Ragnarok and DOTA.
3) Basically anyone with a low tolerance in correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. Jejemons are usually hated or hunted down by Jejebusters or the grammar nazi to eradicate their grammatical ways.
On AIM or YM:

You: Huh?
miszMaldiTahh111: i LLyK tO knOw moR3 bOut u, PwfoH. crE 2 t3ll mE yur N@me? jejejejeje!
You: You are a jejemon! Don’t talk to me, you uneducated, uncivilized retard!
miszMaldiTahh111: T_T
On my personal feeling, I am irritated when I receive textmessages using this kind.
I didn’t know this is called JEJEMONS until I read it here! I have been receiving this kind of messages and I really don’t want to reply the texter/s. The texter seems to me like an ignorant…an uneducated!
The kind of texting we had before is still better and COOL!
hahaha ..
i thought it was a new type of digimon or some kind.
so i can tame one, wahaha ..LOL!
as a teacher, that should not influence the children’s mind. and as an adult, could you take it to be a bad model to the younger generations? or you’re the one who were influenced by them.
be – hu(MAN)e – enough guys.
GOD bless.
– hu(MAN)e -
To really understand the Jejemon, you need to go back into the peak of the unlimited texting trend as well as the Friendster popularity among the teens. It is the mish-mash of both cyber-cultures (SMS/FS) which paved the way into the Jejemon culture – which is best observed in the trending of lengthy “comment/testimonials” in way back in 2005-2008…
this is the jologs language. jejemons bask in the glory of being talked about. i find it very irritating. i guess they think its cool to be talked about even if people find them weird. i dont think there is a need to understand their language because it will only influence the way you talk and you dont really want that to happen.
nOt one of them. but jejemons are cool
jejemons are mostly to be described as “over”.
yes, it’s true! Thus, making over spelled words or jejemon words are surely waste of time, irratation of the eyes, and waste of letter capacity in phone…
remenber: Simple is best! Simple is more.
jejemon?
It only proves that language is dynamic, it changes all the time. And it shows how, we Filipinos, are so creative to entertain ourselves.
Pero sana di ito maging dahilan upang ang edukasyon sa ating bansa ay maging paurong.
These people, the ‘jejemons’, really need guidance. Kasi kahit sabihin pa natin that this is just for fun, nakakasanayan po yan eh. At mahirap po yan tanggalin sa sistema pag andyan na.
Goodluck nalang.
code or no code, freedom of speech or not, jejemons are not irritating but they are also starting to get on my nerves..
on the aspect of the novelty of jejemons, whether it’s us Pinoys who invented this culture or not, I hope this will not be a source of pride for some just because we can invent some language that translates to fun, lest we’ll be the laughingstock of foreigners who use proper English…
just the opinion of a kapwa kababayan…
to all jejemon magbago na kayo.. para kasi kaung tangang wla pinagaralan… naka2hiya kayu…….. pinapahirpan nyo pa mga sarili nyo..? un lng.. comments ko..?

As an Australian who has worked with a good number of migrants from all over the world and readily interpreted thier variety of english, an oficial language in Philippines, I find it very difficult to follow the Philippine version of english. A very mixed up language, many abreviations, a variety of phonetics including Spanish which have phonetics of thier own.
Many will only pronounce half or less of a written world and leave the rest to the imagination. What my school teacher called lazy speakers. shorthand speakers. Schools need english teachers who can speak international english, or the situation can only get worse. To the detriment of international trade and communication.
