Old etymology
editI removed this from the etymology section, since I see no relevance:
Its currency in the early 1900s can be gauged by this portion of the popular title song of a George M. Cohan musical play of 1905, Forty-five Minutes from Broadway:
Oh, what a fine bunch of reubens / Oh, what a jay atmosphere; / They have whiskers like hay, / And imagine Broadway / Only forty-five minutes from here!
Could somebody knowledgeable expand the etymology for the letter j? --Backinstadiums (talk) 09:07, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
