********************************************
Stephen Fry: I'm certainly not adroit, efficient, neat, quiet on my feet and respectful like Jeeves. On the other hand, I do tend to remember quotations and regurgitate facts like him. I attempt the sunniness of disposition of Bertie Wooster, but can't achieve thesame altruism and sweetness of nature. A mongrel hybrid of both, I suppose. A sort of Jooster. Why take two Wodehouse characters into the shower, when you can simply Jooster And Go?


oh wow, this maketh me all smiley and fluttery...

I always thought this is where everyone got the term from.

... you mean some of you came up with this independently of Stephen's comment? O_O

Me and a friend (the wonderful person who introduced me to the phenomena of Wodehouse) came up with this when we were discussing the slashy nature of Jeeves 'n Wooster...

It IS a natural blending of their names... and its a sort of slash habit to name pairings through a blending of their names. for example, Snape + Harry = Snarry. Only one that comes to mind at the moment, but I know there are plenty more...

There are, of course, Stugh and Huphen. We haven't been able to settle on one. ^_^

*pipes in* I first heard the term from the community and it seemed like such a perfect OTP-nickname that I've used that more than I've said 'Jeeves and Wooster' ^_^ Only yesterday had I heard of the word being Stephen's invention.. which, naturally, makes it all the more slashier ^_^
