5 things you didn't know about Jeff Jarrett

#4 His grandma came up with Slapnutz

One of the terms associated with Jeff Jarrett is 'Slapnutz'. He got the term over at the height of the Monday Night Wars, and it means exactly what you think it means. Many have wondered where the term came from. We found out that it came from his grandmother.

We had a chance to interview Jarrett during the Impact tapings in India and this is what he had to say:

So, Slapnutz was derived from my grandmother Christine Jarrett and she used to call people slappy. A slappy was someone who slapped their gums together. She would say, they know more and more about less and less every day.

So how did a slappy become Slapnutz? We wondered the same and asked Jarrett:

So you put that in 1999 language and you turn it into a slapnut, with a Z. It sort of just took off, sold a lot of t-shirts, had a lot of fun. It’s funny. Here we are in 2017, in Mumbai, India and you're asking me about Slapnutz. You're the crazy one (Laughs).

Well, now you know what Slapnutz are. Hopefully, you don't know more and more about less and less every day. That would make you a slappy!
