What is jabroni?

Jabroni

A "jabroni" is a slang term, primarily used in professional wrestling, to refer to a wrestler whose main job is to make their opponents look good. Essentially, they are enhancement talent. They are often portrayed as weak, unskilled, or easily defeated.

Outside of wrestling, "jabroni" has been popularized by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and has entered popular culture as a general insult. It's used to describe someone as a fool, a loser, or simply someone who is annoying or contemptible. The exact connotation depends on the context, but it generally implies a lack of competence or dignity.

The origin of the word is debated, but it's often attributed to the Italian word "gabrone", meaning "rough, coarse, vulgar person".
