I caught onto SS meaning Super Saiyan but what is the J? Is that another way of spelling it with 2 words?

I only see Saiyan as one word in the cartoons we get here.

I'm pretty sure both deverz and nighthawk are right. In the japanese version of dbz they are called super saiya-jins. So I would only assume that's where the SSJ comes from.

Time for a (very, very short)japanese lesson, folks!

Okay....jin means people.
So....saiya-jin literally means people of saiya.

Since Super Saiya-jin gets tedious to type out...it was abbreviated to SSJ.
The J isn't there to keep people from mixing it up with the german SS.

LOL, easy Chimp. That and you killed him before we could steal his spam for the semi-evil tyrant, the sultan of spam, our dark master, Majin_You.

/me itches "M"

And toast only makes me giggle when someone tickles me with it. So :p
