From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   J. Random /J rand'm/ n.   [common; generalized from {J. Random
   Hacker}] Arbitrary; ordinary; any one; any old.   `J. Random' is
   often prefixed to a noun to make a name out of it.   It means roughly
   `some particular' or `any specific one'.   "Would you let J. Random
   Loser marry your daughter?"   The most common uses are `J. Random
   Hacker', `J. Random Loser', and `J. Random Nerd' ("Should J. Random
   Loser be allowed to {gun} down other people?"), but it can be used
   simply as an elaborate version of {random} in any sense.

   term is one of the oldest in the jargon, apparently going back to
   MIT in the 1960s.   See {random}, {Suzie COBOL}.   This may originally
   have been inspired by `J. Fred Muggs', a show-biz chimpanzee whose
   name was a household word back in the early days of {TMRC}, and was
   probably influenced by `J. Presper Eckert' (one of the co-inventors
   of the electronic computer).   See also {Fred Foobar}.
