To hate the phrase “double jabbed”

[MrsRobbieHart]

(But also lighthearted )

I hate the double part and I hate the jabbed part individually and the two combined.

It’s not double. You haven’t been doubly vaccinated, just fully vaccinated. If you only have the first one, you’re only partially vaccinated. So the second one is the completion of the vaccination- right? Not double the vaccination.

And jabbed is just yuck. I know I’m probably UR on this count as jabbed is a very commonly used term for a vaccination. It never bothered me before the term “double jabbed” came into usage. Now it makes me

And people saying “I’m double jabbed” makes me want to scream. “I have been double jabbed” would be slightly more acceptable.

You can all tell me how UR I am now

It’s horrible and I’m sure doesn’t help people who are phobic about these things. Call it what it sodding well is, not everything has to have a cutesy name. If the public can understand words like colonoscopy and blood transfusion they can also manage vaccination, immunisation and injection.

I want to throw something when I see:
stay safe
new normal
WFH
'warn and inform' - a letter that does precisely neither
mask mandate

@RoseWineTime

I can’t stand “let it rip”

Like a fart???

@Gastropod

I'm with you. Makes me shudder too, for those exact reasons!

Feel the same…awful expression!

'warn and inform' - a letter that does precisely neither

what is this? That sounds really threatening. What are they warning you about?

I like it.

People say 'jag' instead of 'jab' in parts of Scotland. Double jagged. Have I just sent your blood pressure up even further OP?

I like it. I'm interested in phrases that you can date to an exact moment in time. 'Double jabbed' is one of those.

Lots of shuddering today. We’re minutes away from someone starting to shake and cry.

Grabajab was doing the rounds here too. Urgh!

Yeah. All I can think of is a needlestick injury to the hand.

Jagged. Like the thing a thistle does to you. You touched a thistle twice. that’s the information I have learned from you when you say that phrase.

It's better than 'jags' or 'jagged' which makes me weep.

Ooh, and 'Covid Status' too!

Why?

we've got a weeper now.

Jagged makes me cringe!

Jabbed I can sort of understand but whats Jag/Jagged got to do with anything. I feel like someone once got it wrong and half of the country followed.

It's not fully vaccinated anymore though now that they are giving boosters out. Those who've had two will soon be incomplete

It's Scots

Hahahaha - it doesn't annoy me, but there are so many phrases that do for similar reasons that I vote YANBU.

It's why Partick Thistle are known as The Jags

Where I am in Scotland jag is something sharp. Needles are sharp, so you've been jagged by the needle.

That makes perfect sense to me, jab has never made sense to me and is not used locally at all.

Am I right in thinking there is a 6 month gap before you can have the booster? So for those 6 months you are fully vaccinated?

Are people going to start saying triple jabbed when they have their booster?

I can’t say that the term double jabbed bothers me that much.

Self isolation and social distancing have drove me mad throughout most of the pandemic.

However, I must have reached a stage of acceptance of the terms now. They don’t affect me as much as they used to.

If you want to send your blood pressure through the roof read on….

In NI ‘we’ (I don’t but many do) call a jag “jeg”

I was wondering about this yesterday
