Travel Info
"Don't be such a Jason."

Travel Tips
I've never heard it.
If it's referring to Jason Donovan it would probably mean "Don't be such an idiot or fool."
Others
Why is he a fool?
In 1992, he launched a successful libel action against The Face magazine who published allegations that he was gay. Donovan won the case. Donovan had alienated his gay audience, a significant part of his fanbase.
There are many reasons.

This could just be a private joke! I have heard "don't be a Nigel" which would be a nerdy person. certain names have been given particular connotations usually associated with a real person or character. The "Jason" could possible refer to Jason Donavon - a soapy star turned singer (starred opposite Kylie Minogue in "Neighbours") and possibly the most famous Jason in Oz.
Never heard it myself. Only don't be a Nigel like the first answerer said. Sorry.
Lol no idea, a lot of guys say don't be a (boys name follows) i think yeah its kinda like don't be a nerd or like stupid or something.
In New Zealand we also say.."Don't be such a Norman" as well.....who knows where it comes from???
