I notice you skip right by the explanation of why it has become the popular term. Work that hillbilly scrolling finger and go read Easy's explanation. It's spot on, to borrow another gay English term (which I know you like).
Admit it. You're fussing (Texas term) just to fuss. You don't give a rat's ass if people say 'jab'. Tell the truth.
p.s. It is quite possible that 'jab' has entered the lexicon just to piss you off, you know.
p.p.s. Do you know what happens to people who mess with a cult? Google it.
I'd rather they didn't.
But no, I don't care deeply about the issue.
It makes otherwise intelligent people look like a bunch of brain-damaged lemmings.
True, it does provide me with a jumping-off point for my "fussing".
So you may be partially right, in an oblique kind of way.
