I've pondered this for a while and I have no idea how jank is a recursive acronym. What're you seeing that I'm not?

It’s a joke (hence the “/s”) on the “[PL name] is [words beginning with the rest of the letters of the Pl name]” snowclone. However as time approaches infinity I’m sure it will get a recursive backronym.
