Noun

jerkism (uncountable)

  1. (slang) Jerkish behavior.
    • 2014, Mike Royko: The Chicago Tribune Collection 1984-1997:
      It was only a minor victory, but any blow against jerkism is to be savored. Unless you are a hermit or a jerk yourself, you must know that jerkism is one of society's major irritants, and it has been increasing.
