Take the pop culture acronym challenge
The person who sent you DQYDJ (don't quit your day job) thinks your most recent idea is not a winner. Typically, people respond with DQYDJ after you've sent them an unusually outlandish idea whose merit is especially suspect.
For example, if you tell your BFF that you plan to start a heavy metal band and launch a recording career, they may respond with DQYDJ. This means your BFF doesn't think your band will be very successful (and in true BFF fashion, they're being honest with you).
