Photo of Person Jumping

 * Selfie

JUMPIE The word “jumpie” was coined by Ronald Wayne Patrick after observing one of the missionaries he was travelling with on a tour to the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau Alaska on October 14th, 2015. Unlike the “selfie” a jumpie requires a cell phone friend who can capture the image of a person jumping into the air. The jumpie celebrates friendship as friends post pictures of their friends in flight in social media. The jumpie has endless possibilities including pictures with the largest group of off the ground friends in simultaneous flight. If you add a trampoline or an edge you get the “tramp jumpie” or the “drop jumpie”. When friends find a unique mood, location or weather condition you can immediately design many colors, variations and qualities of a jumpie. Selfie Jumpies do not qualify because they defeat the purpose of being with friends. The Jumpie requires friends and little explanation, the picture should tell a story all by itself. The dollar jumpie encourages friends to donate to charity. The jumpie jar is used to gather coins that may fall out of a jumper’s pocket intentionally or by accident and are saved to be shared through charitable acts of friendship to pay it forward to strangers who are just friends you haven’t met yet.
