Jeff Jarrett Reveals The Origins Of The Term “Slapnutz”

We know you’re all curious.

Where did Jeff Jarrett come up with the term “Slapnutz”? How did that even come about?

With all that he’s done in his career, Jarrett finds it funny that people still want to talk about the era during which he was hitting people over the head with a guitar and calling them a very specific name.

Turns out it’s all Granny Jarrett’s fault.

Here’s what he told Sportskeeda while he was in India for their recent set of tapings: 

“Oh Slapnutz. That is a legendary term that, to this day, continues to garner quite a bit of interest. Whether it’s Beetlejuice or Mae Young and Moolah, they’ve all been smacked on the head with a guitar and called a Slapnut. I remember in the early days of Slapnutz, we were in Detroit, Michigan and I was working for WCW where I was pulled into a small room, and Standards and Practices looked at me and said, ‘Jeff, we want you to explain something to us. We really want to know what’s going on, because we have been called from the North Tower of the Turner Organization and asked what actually is a Slapnut, We feel this needs to be censored.’ So, Slapnutz was derived from my grandmother Christine Jarrett and she used to call people slappy. A slappy was someone who slapped their gums together. She would say, they know more and more about less and less every day. Let that sink in. So you put that in 1999 language and you turn it into a slapnut, with a Z. It sort of just took off, sold a lot of t-shirts, had a lot of fun. It’s funny. Here we are in 2017, in Mumbai, India and you’re asking me about Slapnutz. You’re the crazy one (Laughs).”
