Both etymologies are at the top, and no attempt is made to split by etymology. I'm somewhat surprised there is an etymology for this which isn't jump + -er, but oh well. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:12, q1 April 2013 (UTC)
- Pretty straightforward, so I just did it (I may have overlooked a detail or two). I'm not positive about the etymology of the electric/electronic senses, or of the rompers one, but both are plausible where they are. The 4th sense under Etymology 1 looks like it might be SOP, but there's nothing at jump that matches. The senses at jump would probably benefit from a little scrutiny, anyway.

- I'm pretty sure there's broad consensus here that single words are never SOP (at least in the CFI-violating sense) due to their morphology, otherwise we couldn't have terms like possessing or shoes. —Angr 09:18, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
agent noun
Shouldn't this page specify that one sense of this word is an agent noun? (See also: runner.) --NoToleranceForIntolerance (talk) 01:39, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
Suicide *not* by jumping?
Jonathon Green's Newspeak (1984) gives this as US police slang for any (attempted or successful) suicide, noting that jumping from a height may not be involved. Equinox ◑ 13:09, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
