The term was first used in the blockchain community "Crypto Hub".

When someone blames bad gaming on something that is completely unrelated to the game.

Johning is the act of making excuses for your loss upon losing a game, the most popular explanation being a "faulty" controller. It's most commonly seen among Smash Brothers and FPS (CoD, Valorant, OW, etc) gamers. Someone who frequently johns after a game is called a john, Mr. John or simply John. See also "Salty".
An example of johning:
(Player 1 attempts to perform a recovery but fails miserably, ending the match)
Player 2: Ha! I won fair and square!
Player 1: Dude, my controller was definitely faulty. Those buttons were sticky, thats why I didn't get my up special.
Player 2: You're blatantly johning, were you even *trying* to recover?
