Jab or Jag?

Jabs

Inoculation !

Vaccination/injection. I find the constant use of 'jab' irritating.

especially when combined with 'into arms'! ggrrr

Jabs - we are southerners.
Yesterday had a zoom meeting with a Scot, who called them jags.
I couldn’t care less what anyone calls them, as long as they get themselves vaccinated!

Vaccination.
I find jab, in the language of my country of residence, and jag, in the language of my country of origin, devaluing to an amazing achievement.

Vaccination.
I'm another who dislikes jabs... and yes, especially when combined with "into arms".

Here here Witzend! Jags in my house.

Joke on Radio Scotland this week.

In Scotland, Partick Thistle football team are knows as the Jags. ( true ) In England they call them the Jabs. They're going to tell that joke again in 8 weeks because we need 2 doses.

Well, it tickled me....

Vaccine.

Either will do me as long as I get it.

I didn't understand the OP first as I have never heard of the 'jag'. And I thought, why has it got to be a choice, DD1 has both! Jab x 2 and a Jag.

Jags is a Scottish only word as far as I know, not being Scottish I call it a jab.
Kali ?
Jags is also an old fashioned word for japes ( although that’s an old fashioned word in itself)
‘Hark, hark!
The dogs do bark,
The beggars are coming to town,
Some in rags and some in jags,
And one in a velvet gown.’
( Old English rhyme)
I used to have visions of the beggars riding in a jag , as a child, because my Uncle owned one.?

A popular opening gambit up here in conversations at the moment is "Been for your jags?"

"Have you been inoculated yet?" doesn't have the same ring to it.

Nobody's devaluing anything, its just what we call it.

I say vac or jab, especially online cos its faster to type....but i really don't care, the meaning is clear. I don't use Vax because to me its linked with antivax but that may be just me.

Vaccination

vaccine/vaccination for me.

I use whatever term I fancy at that moment. I don’t restrict myself to just one word.

I saw a superb Jaguar sports car the other day. I’d like one of those jags.

Lemongrove I love the word japes. ‘Jolly japes, what ho!’ ?

Thank you. Have to admit I don't care what it is called, either. I've had mine - both! Just curious!

My next door neighbour said he'd been for his prick. I must have looked stunned because his wife quickly added "He means he went for his jab this morning".

South Wales expat in AS England jabs

I have had both jags, but I would rather have this Jag! I saw a young woman driving one the other day. ?

Jag.

Doses of vaccine or vaccinations. I don’t really mind jab, but dislike jag.

Jab, jag, I've had neither
