The explanation for the phenomenon is that, in the cortex, verbal repetition repeatedly arouses a specific neural pattern that corresponds to the meaning of the word.

Jeff Jeff Jeff Jeff Jeff just sounded calming and pleasant after a while.

One of the contestants (Jeff) shows up in the comments, and explains... some of this.

That not only explained how they got so many 'Jeff's so easily but also a few comments later why these are the first YouTube comments I've read in a long time - they usually make me Jeff my faith in Jeffmanity.

Yeah, but given that that was wrong, Jeff really should've lost $600, don't you think? She stayed at $0. COME ON, JEFFPARDY, don't you know the rules??

there was an actual 'Jeff' category. it was famous Jeffs. so that's me (and Jeff) saying Jeff for real.

As a one-time Jeopardy contestant and a Jeff, I like this post very much.

Except. You guys have been typing "Jeff" so much it doesn't even look like a word any more. :(

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question ...
Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit, Jeff.

That was weird.

Back in the 80's in Vancouver, I hung out and drank with musician friends a lot, and for a while, we spent a lot of time at a venue on Granville Street that another friend of ours ran called The Cruel Elephant.

It's all a bit hazy now, thanks mostly to the drinking, I suppose, but what eventually became the unofficial adhoc house band at the Cruel Elephant was a fuck band (Vancouver lingo (maybe elsewhere too?) for a bunch of people from different bands who'd just get together to mess around on stage) called 'Jeff'. There was a rotating cast of band members, but it was pretty much all people I knew, mostly just whoever happened to be a) in a band and b) at the bar when there was nothing else going on.

The only notable thing about Jeff was that the only lyric for all of the songs -- well, calling them songs is pushing it a bit -- was the word 'Jeff'.

Jeff was terrible, but actually pretty great.

Maybe some other time I'll tell the story of my alcohol-inspired head injury at the Elephant while we were, er, 'getting ready' for a NoMeansNo show at which, after a quick hospital visit, I showed up with a shaved patch on the front of my skull, a line of fresh stitches in the middle of it, and dried blood all down my face and shirt. Ah, those were the days.
