 Chrysti the Wordsmith > Radio Scripts > Soda Jerk
The ice cream clerks who invented and dispensed America's favorite dairy confections from the 1920s through the 1950s were affectionately called "soda jerks." The jerk in their title was not the same as the one meaning "worthless fool," rather it described what they did for a living, "jerking" the soda dispenser handle all day long.
The jargon invented by these ice-cream parlor heroes was a kind of slangy shorthand necessitated by the short-order atmosphere of the soda fountain.
Though the disappearance of the neighborhood ice cream parlor has rendered soda jerk jargon obsolete, much of that slangy vocabulary has nevertheless been lovingly preserved in many specialized dictionaries.

John Banzhaf, a law professor at George Washington University with a reputation for suing the tobacco industry for billions of dollars, has threatened to sue the Seattle School Board for selling sodas from vending machines to middle and high school students.

Although etymologists agree that SODA JERK ultimately derives from BEER JERKER, there is not total agreement on the origin of ‘beer jerker’ itself.
With the proliferation of soft drinks in the early 20th century, the many resulting soda fountains required the services of clerks who dispensed less intoxicating beverages, and it was not surprising that they were called by the trade name of their predecessors, becoming first SODA JERKERS, and then the abbreviated form SODA JERKS.
<1984 “Soda fountains, in fact, became places of high art, and SODA JERKS were forever fine-tuning their skills.”—‘Chicago Tribune,’ 21 June, page G10>
