    Does Usain Bolt think Karl Melter is a jogger?
    The verb has somewhat to do with subjective speed. Usain Bolt could jog alongside me while I'm in an all-out sprint (heck, he could probably walk beside me ). That wouldn't mean I would be jogging.

    The noun is just plain derogatory. It implies the person doesn't belong on the road. Which was pretty much the point of the OP...

    I mean, seriously, I am about as insulated from advertising as an American can be, yet I was saturated with that "We Are Not Joggers" ad campaign. It was everywhere. Did you all miss it????


    Anyway, this is exactly why I prefaced my request with the reminder that I'd been called out for using the word "cager."
