[QUOTE=st ef you;25477366]This question dawned on me today, and I just can't get it out of my mind. It's really as simple as it is: Who the fuck is Jack? No, I don't mean Jack Shepherd or Jackie Chan or whatever movie/TV show character you may be thinking of. The Jack I'm talking about is, considering how "famous" this guy really is, is THE Jack. You know, the jack from the many sayings such as:
"You just got jacked"
"Oh my god, they are really jacked"
Flapjacks
Carjacked
Jackknife
Jack off
Headphone jack
Jack, Queen, King
Union Jack
Jackass
[b]Jack-o-lantern[/b]
Jack-in-the-box
There may be more, but that is really all that I can think of right now. So, my question to you is: Who the [I]FUCK[/I] is Jack?[/QUOTE]
There actually is an explanation for that one. Jack-o-lanterns were named after a character who supposedly was denied entrance to both heaven and hell after he managed to trick the devil 3 times. So he was trapped on Earth for eternity. He carved a face into a turnip (nobody knew pumpkins existed back then) and used it as a lantern for whatever reason.

I know I've heard that story somewhere.
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
I am Jack's wasted life.
I am Jack's inflamed sense of rejection.
I am Jack's broken heart.
I know one Jack but he's no carjacker or a lantern
Yeah i know a jack, i 'off' him all the time :smug:
:smug:
[sp]My name.[/sp]
Don't forget Mr. Jack.
