Why do some insist of saying jag when they mean jab? They don't use a rambo knife to administer the vaccine.

//isn't there confusion with owners of Jaguar cars?//
In Scotland?? :-)

My daughter is the worst.. If she sees a needle she has to sit on the floor quickly just before she passes out.

Maggie we will keep him in suspense.. don't tell him what a 'Piece'.. is!

I sometimes use vax for vaccine but then I could also be talking about a wet carpet cleaner. Then theres vac......vaccine or vacuum? Ha

[barry1010]

Why do we say jab when we mean 'injection'? Jab definitions:
poke roughly or quickly, especially with something sharp or pointed;
a quick, sharp blow, especially with the fist;
to kick a ball hard and quickly;
to push or hit something forcefully and quickly, often with a thin or sharp object.

You can jab with anything. Let's insist on the proper word - injection. Or more specifically, Coronavirus vaccine injection. There, that is unambiguous.

as editor of the Sun, I entirely agree, barry. We'll get our headlines department working on it tomorrow.

[tiggerblue10]

Or 'Covid Inoc'?

[johnny.5]

[Mamyalynne]

Oh a Jaggy bonnet - that takes me back to 1971, a starlit night in an abandoned quarry, those bonnets stay warm for hours.

[THECORBYLOON]

It should be "bunnet" not "bonnet".

[woofgang]

Mary in the village was confused when told she had to go and get the vax. She insisted getting in her Jag to get her jag.

[Peter Pedant]

the old girl was such an age that the first bit
( shake and vax ) posed no problem for her

Why do some insist of saying jag when they mean jab?
Why do some insist of using impenetrable rhyming slang which doesnt illuminate or help but gets in the way of communication?

many questions - why indeed

[Mozz71]

Is this one of Tora's "Anti-Scottish" threads?

[Zacs-Master]
