Definitions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To jab<\/strong>: to pierce or poke with something sharp; (boxing) to punch with a short, quick blow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A (vaccine) jab<\/strong> (UK, informal): A hypodermic injection (US: a shot<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jabs in the news<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This month, a British woman became the first person to receive a jab<\/strong> with a Coronavirus vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margaret Keenan, 90, later claimed the heroin was \u201ca bit weak\u201d for her taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t confuse \u201cjab\u201d with:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jaw<\/strong>: the bone at the bottom of your face mask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To jabber<\/strong>: to talk rapidly about nothing. Essential for politicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jabba the Hutt<\/strong>: At 604 years old, this overweight Star Wars gangster is first in line for a COVID jab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatives to jab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prayer<\/strong>: Efficiency debateable, but compatible with most US healthcare plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat your greens<\/strong>: A drastic measure. May boost your immune system though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shots<\/strong>: While waiting for your jab, doctors recommend whiskey, viagra or morphine for a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
