Shift-A

Shift-A: Much like Z, shift-A has dual meaning. It originally started out as shortcut on Blazersedge that allows you to unmask all the comments in a post at once by pressing shift+A. It later became an insult in the same vein as Z in the same JD as Z originated in by blazersedge commentator HD. Shift-A is essentially a derivative of Z with the difference being that it refers to a whole JD or post as opposed to just one comment. It is also often used and said when someone comes late into a large JD and doesn't have the time to read through all of it.
Ex. (Saturday or Sunday JD that focuses mainly on that days football events)
Roybot's first comment of the day: Shift-A

Z

Z: Z or to Z is both an action and an insult. It is referring a shortcut on Blazersedge that allows you to unmask a comment by pressing the Z button. It is used as an insult by simply just posting the comment "Z" and nothing else. Z was originally used by Junk Drawer regular Magnum in the JD of 11/23/09 titled "Where's the Stamp for my Letter to Santa? Edition." In that JD Magnum proposes the idea of using Z as an insult with this explanation for his reasoning "basically, you’re saying that the comment was dumb and you skipped past it, but you want them to know it."
Ex. Cloudydays: I want to make sweet love to Buster Posey, who is a baseball player.
Roybot: Z

DYERTJD?

DYERTJD?- Short for "Do You Even Read The Junk Drawer?" is a phrase that is often used in an ironic sense to notify someone who just posted a link or topic that has already been discussed or linked in that junk drawer or a previous one. Technically it is an ad-hom and therefore against the Blazersedge conversational rules but because it is used in an ironic and joking way (instead of actually saying "do you even read the junk drawer?" you are referencing the joke of "do you even read the junk drawer?") it is allowed. The first documented appearance of DYERTJD? happened on 9/24/2009 in a junk drawer called "Long Live the Prez" by (at that time) junk drawer regular galaticlove , but the original phrase "do you even read the junk drawer?" had been commonly used in the junk draw for a while. The origins on the phrase are unclear( or at least unknown to the bedgewiki staff).
Deriv. you don't read the junk drawer?
Ex. EK: (random symbols linking to a funny picture)
(5 hours pass)
Another bedger posts the same link
