I found this on the V Twin forum and I quote from Dyna Bill:
'Actually, the correct spelling is J.I.F.I. Meaning: If it's not all the way down when you park, your scoot will be on it's side Just In a Fukking Instant!'

Funny...I've been calling it by the correct name since I've been riding two wheel. KICKSTAND. Why? Because when I've tried to "jiffy" it down, I end up kicking it down. That's why it always will be a kickstand.

Besides, jiffy is a brand of peanut butter.

no, you deploy it in a jiffy, so it's a jiffy stand

Sorry but I don't think it's gonna get any better. I guess the ignore option might be a good thing to try.
