What do you normally say, Gaper, Joey or Jerry. I don't know if anybody else used to say joey but everybody at my home mountain did until jerryoftheday became a thing.

jerry of the day is what popularized the term jerry, and it is only called that because joey of the day was taken.

I feel like I say gaper more often, but I believe there was a thread like a day ago about this same thing where someone said something along the lines of, "the difference between a gaper and a Jerry is that a Jerry thinks they know what they are doing".

To put everything into terms:
A Gaper and a Jerry are kind the same thing just a newb or jenky person fucking everything up on the slopes.
A Joey is a Gaper or Jerry in bike terms.

Gaper/Jerry = Ski/Snerrberrd
Joey= Mtn Biking
