var $=function(a){J(1);Z.D[G](Z,[arguments])};
$ is a function object.
$.answer is a property of that object.
$ itself doesn't really mean anything special in javascript.
jQuery and other libraries often use $ as their main object, so it's probably best to avoid using it unless you need to or it's wrapped in another function.
