: but that's ok. I like looking dumb. It's fun, so stop making fun of me!
: Anyhow, what does "jumped the shark" mean exactly? I've pieced together by context that it is obviously similar to going too far, going overboard, etc.
: I assume it was born from the episode of HAPPY DAYS referenced in CLERKS: TAS where the Fonz jumps a shark, and that just stretched the limits of believability and such. Is this even close? Am I completely retarded? Why don't you love mommy anymore?
