What does “Jorf” mean?
Despite what is said in the TV show, Jorf has no meaning and is not a real word.
Although the show does suggest that the term is somewhat offensive.
A server on the Amazon show comes to one of the characters putting on a layer that Jorf is standing on.
They said: “Some customers have complained about your shirt. It’s something very insulting.
“It’s said to be a secret code for white supremacists to identify one another.”
But the word is wrong — and the scenario is designed to prank one of the show’s cast members.
Why is “Jorf Meaning” trending?
Jorf is trending online because people really don’t know if it’s a real word — or what it means.

Many thought the term was funny at first, like a wrong word, but changed their minds after realizing later in the episode that it’s “a code word for white supremacy” — even though it’s wrong.
