For reasons we'd rather not go into, we can't actually tell you what Pajiba means but, should Pajiba catch fire and become a national phenomenon, we would like you to know that it is pronounced as follows:
p-jb
For those of you who skipped fourth-grade grammar and have no idea what a schwa is, we'll make it simple: Pajiba sounds like a part of the female anatomy, which makes it an awfully enjoyable word to say (try it, out loud, in your cubicle). Any other pronunciation makes us bristle, hack, and contort our faces in very unpleasant ways
Based ostensibly in Ithaca, New York, Pajiba has offices (and by "offices," we mean guys and gals writing reviews on kitchenette tables in their overpriced hovels or in their cubicles during office hours) in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Boston, Tulsa, small-town Pennsylvania, and even Fayetteville, Arkansas A complete list of our regular staff members can be found here. If you lurk in the comments section for any length of time, you'll also notice that we have several regular commenters (often referred to as The Eloquents) who make quite a few valuable contributions to the Pajiba experience.
Who I'd like to meet: Letterman, Cintra Wilson, Chabon, Eggers, Hornby, Klostermann, Hunter Thompson, Sorkin, Cameron Crowe, Ben Folds, Foer, Coupland, David E. Kelly.

That's the only thing I learned in first grade. I still remember the poster with a sentence and graphic somehow incorporating all of those elements in a bizarre circus seal balancing act.
