Why? As fans of Ricochet’s Jon Gabriel (@ExJon) know, this is his Twitter profile picture.
And then this happened:
So I miss one half a day on twitter and @exjon -ing is a thing? Brilliant! Why did it take this long?
— Julie Robinson (@JRoAZ) August 23, 2014
Good question, but Twitter is now making up for lost time.

And so it begins …
Why is everyone #exjoning and do I have to comb my hair for this?
— ?SúperStabbyLatina ? (@SuperAndrea) August 23, 2014
No hair combing necessary. All that’s needed is a good dose of humor.
Move over, #Perrying, here comes #ExJoning.

.@AngelaKG was exjonning before exjonning was cool. (note: exjonning was never cool.) @RepRepublic

We beg to differ. It’s now “sweeping the nation!”
