Stop saying "after the jump". Please.

I hate it. Where am I jumping to? I've set up a filter in Firefox to change every instance of "after the jump" to "I'm an asshole author". It startles me a little every time I see it, then I remind myself, that they truly are trend following bastards, and that any fingers that touch the keyboard keys that form that phrase should be removed.

It's good to know I'm not the only one who doesn't like that phrase.

Although in my search for information I did find the history of its use.

The Fonz would call it: After the jumping the shark. Aaaaaay!
