lol, it's a first time i see jab as a "derogatory" definition. Mind to explain where you get it from?
- kelipso 3y agoIt's a result of being on twitter too much lol.
- dpkonofa 3y agoI don't use Twitter so, no, it has nothing to do with Twitter.
- srcreigh 3y agoit’s just the reality of language in America. Anti vax people tend to use the word jab mockingly, others call it the vaccine or the COVID shots. For example you’d never hear someone say “I just got my Covid jab”.
- dpkonofa 3y agoThis is exactly it. Anti-vaxxers use "jab" as a derogatory term to try and make it seem malicious.
