“Jab”, huh?
I don’t think normal people call it that.
Who says that?
Anybody who calls getting a shot a “Jab” is gay or has something wrong with them.
As the lexicographer Jonathon Green details in “Green’s Dictionary of Slang,” “jab” began to be used by British forces in World War II to refer to inoculations against diseases like tuberculosis. Gerald Kersh, a writer who served in the British Army, used the word in his 1941 novel “They Die With Their Boots Clean”: “First time that feller got a Jab, he went out like a light.”
After the war, the British public became increasingly exposed to this meaning of “jab,” often in newspapers where it served as handy shorthand: “flu jab” is a lot punchier than “influenza vaccination,” after all. Now that “jab” has made its way back Stateside, lexicographers are taking note. Editors at Merriam-Webster are reviewing meanings of “jab” for a possible future entry: the act of inoculation (as in “jabs in arms”) as well as a dose of a vaccine (as in “I got my second jab of Moderna”). The semantic spread of the term is proving downright infectious.
Anybody like you that doesn’t do ANYTHING with their life but hassle people on FR has a serious mental problem.
...just sayin’...
People call it a jab because some of these use a really short needle that is more of a jab than a shot.
Vaccines are administered in different ways. Some are oral.
Many use jab in place of vaccine because this covid “vaccine” is not really a true vaccine.
Before the covid scam some of these sites wanted you to check a box stating you support BLM. Now they are pushing vaccines, yeah right. How about a box for what STDs for have?
