Jab or Jag?

[1875]

Is it further anglification of our language?

 

[Westside Green]

A needle jags you.
A jab is a punch.

I used jab but use jag tae. Both mean the same, not to be confused with jib, which means similar but knives are used to rather than needles. Worked in Jimmy Boyles hoose at Colinton many years ago and his car reg was JIB 1. Thought he had stopped that shite tae.

Used to hang around the Gateway Exchange back in the 80's.Got to meet him. He seemed like a nice enough guy. Half his problem was he was bi and he never really came out.

Where's the inoculation choice?

I would normally use jag but sometimes jab reads better.

I don't care, I don't think it makes a difference so long as you get this one when you're called!

Nettles are always jaggies. As in “watch it ya radge, you nearly pushed me into the jaggies” or something like that.

Jabs are punches like someone else said.

If we are talking about vaccines sadly I’m umericanized and call it a shot!

The second is a sonorisation of the first. Dialect variation at district level?

I was type 1 diabetic for 37 years, It was always a jag to me. Jabs are for boxers

 

[SuperTortolano]

Jag for me, but these Yanks are dead set on "shot"

 

[HaarlemShuffler]

Just the usual Dutch prik for me - but we're well behind schedule and a general fúkkin election in a coupla weeks too... so count your blessings.

Apparently there was a bit of panic in some of the local jokers out here who thought everyone was being offered a job.

I met him once in the street carrying two buckets of shite.I said 'what are you going to do with these?' he said 'I'm going to decorate my living room'.

 

[Smurf]

It's a Jag. A needle is jaggy.
