It wouldn't be Woongjin got Pee'd on, it'd be Woongjin got parked, which I guess implies rape. If we called Jaedong "The Dee," it'd STILL be related to a penis joke. :-P "Do you guys want the D!" "WE WANT THE D!" I want this to happen at a major event. | ||

That takes the entire point of the joke away though. The joke is simple, and it got bigger once blizz had him change his ID to JD because it wouldn't allow "dong" due to the name issue. At least we don't have all the "raise your dongers" stuff going on with his name lol. Honeslty this thread is making a bigger deal of this than it is, there are tons of jokes like this in other sports too, e-sports doesn't have to be incredibly stiff like a formal high-tea. | ||

JaeDong doesn't intentionally use JD as his ID. Maybe somebody already said it but JaeDong is an "illegal" name, as Dong has been deemed to be offensive and thus banned the name from being used. It's absolutely ridiculous telling one of the most famous people in the world that they can't use their own name because their name means penis. Can you believe someone telling you that? "Sorry dawg, even though its your real name, we use it as slang for penis, so you're going to have to find a new name" | ||

The only difference is the D sound is slightly stronger and can be written as "ddong" in english or in korean "똥" instead of "동". | ||

The only difference is the D sound is slightly stronger and can be written as "ddong" in english or in korean "똥" instead of "동". Except the "o" vowel sound is completely different ._. Jaedong is dong like "dog" 똥 is "dohng" like "oh.." | ||

"The Dong" is a very old nickname for Jaedong that people use on this forum. It's a dumb penis joke made up by kids. That's really all there is to it. You must not have been around when DRG was big and people were arguing over who the "one true dong" was. I wrote a sex poem inspired by the One True Dong. It is called, Abbreviation. One True Dong OTD Off The Dong OTD On The Dong OTD Out The Dong OTD Opps, This Dong. | ||
