'Jerk' has a lot of meanings, most commonly heard among youth to mean idiot, fool, annoying person. Jerk has been used properly since the 1500s to mean a sudden pull or tugging motion. In the early 1800s the word was applied to railroads (the engine jerks the other cars forward; the water pump jerked water from the pond). In the mid-1800s a tiny town without a water tank for the train was a 'jerkwater town' because the train would have to stop longer to pump water from a stream or pond. People from such villages were called 'jerks' by the carnival and circus workers who were a frequent sight in the mid and late 1800s. Jerk was then applied as a derogatory term for an unsophisticated country person who could easily be cheated.

What makes a guy a jerk?

Personally i notice certain things right off the bat and fortunitly picking out jerks is one of them a jerk can be a man/woman but most are men. being a jerk is really a lack of maturity, like knowing when to keep your trap shut. being a jerk is to lack the ability to know enough to be silent about something you know nothing about. a jerk can usually stand out in a crowd no matter how he dresses he will stand out like a pile of raspberries on the snow. a jerk, and this takes care not to confuse a mentally challenged person with a jerk, but a jerk will almost always put his 2 cents in that has no bearing on the subject being discussed. but fear not little ones a jerk like a puppy is the most loyal person you know bitchy, nagging people who will criticize something being done instead of supporting it. first off jerks are retards who dont give a crap what people think and like to embarrass people.Jerks dont care. ALL guys are jerks. trust me. i know.
