Do you mean jagged, as in jagged edge? That is how new words are born, people accept it as if words wouldn't have to mean anything.
- MatthewMcDonald 10y agoIn this context, jacked is synonymous with muscular. "I grunt when I get my swell on at the gym. That's 'cause everyone should see how jacked and tan I am."
- cesarbs 10y agoI love your dictionary-like sample sentence :)
- MatthewMcDonald 10y agoHa, it's not mine - it's from a YouTube video called My New Haircut (NSFW)
- conceit 10y agoAnd still it once ment jagged, your sentence doesn't prove jack-shit
- MatthewMcDonald 10y agoMy sentence is simply an example of the word 'jacked' being used in a way that is synonymous with muscular. 'Jacked' is sometimes used with this meaning, regardless of your approval. Slang is often ephemeral, I would try not to get upset when it changes.
- conceit 10y ago> regardless of your approval I have only given disapproval so far. Your personal approval on the other hand is pretty important to yourself. By the line of your argument, you do draw approval from others', so mine is slightly important, too, as evidenced by your attentive answers. I might just have been wrong, which is still more agreeable than accepting two concurrent opinions.
