Ive never heard anyone beyond the GB community use the word janky, think Ice might be a GB fan? How awesome would that be!
Ice-T says Janky!! (oh and MOH beta sucks)
Janky: not actually a Giant Bomb exclusive since the 1990s.
" Why do so many people think janky is a GB thing? "People here think others are trying to sound like Jeff and/or Ryan
I've seen the word janky before (I always thought it meant 'broken'), but I will admit that I've adopted the GB crew's usage: a game that just has a sort of... crap to it. Be it clipping or animations taking too long, etc.
I want to see Ice-T tweet something like 'York is my homie'.
To be fair though, he does make it apparent that it's only his opinion, and the fact that the single-player will probably be good.
" "Janky" has been a word for well over a decade or two, it is not a word invented by Giant Bomb, and for the record, UrbanDictionary is not a legitimate anything. "It doesn't matter how legitimate of a source UD is, I'm sure the point was that "janky" is timestamped as being in the UD database from as early as 1999.
