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

Another vote for 'self-isolate' as the most annoying Covid-speak. Isolate/quarantine both perfectly adequate.

Also social distancing. It's just distancing surely.

Stay safe is another bugbear.

"It's face covering for me." *@Geamhradh* that's because a mask is PPE and it is to make the distinction between the bit of cloth and people who actually need a face mask for PPE.

Ahhh,ok, I can see that. I'm not in UK and we could only wear surgical or ffp2. (I was also yelled at on here when I said that last year by someone "you don't wear fucking surgical masks unless you're in a fucking hospital" If I hadn't worn a fucking surgical mask I'd have received a fucking fine!

Loving binnoculated!!

Hate “I’m self-isolating” in the same way I hate PIN number (Personal Identification Number number)

I had two doses of the Janssen single dose on a clinical trial so I am officially double jabbed, as in fully vaccinated twice.

The expression that annoyed me was 'getting vaccines into arms'.

Some idiot came up with it as a catch phrase and then it was everywhere.

Boris Johnson, king of the catch phrase, used it at every opportunity during the media broadcasts and then everyone and anyone on TV was using it every chance they got.

Everyone was going on about 'getting vaccines into arms'.

Made me feel like sticking my arm through the television screen every time I heard it.

I have been jabbed twice; therefore, I have been double jabbed.

How is it fully vaccinated when you require a top up?

Hep b can require a top up but you don’t say I’m double jabbed

YANBU - they sound like morons.

Jag for me. I work in the NHS so I have no idea how I haven't come across it before, but it makes my teeth itch. When it's mentioned too often on threads I'm reading I have to get out of them. Hate it so much.

A jab is a needle in the arms to me rather than vaccination status.

See even that is wrong. A jab is a type of punch. A jag is an injection. (although my arm felt like someone had punched it after my flu vacc earlier this week so maybe jab is more appropriate ).
Anyway jab and every other term associated with the pandemic can do one, hate all of them. But then we live in the age of made up terms/words/meanings now don't we, dare I say it 'the new normal'

*Doubting myself with the 'getting vaccines into arms' now (see pp above) and think it might have been 'getting needles into arms'.

Whatever, it was bloody annoying.

I absolutely also can’t stand the nasty name calling words that have appeared.

Sheep
Anti Vaxer
Refusenik
Etc Etc

Some people have become really nasty and horrible using these kind of words.
The other annoying words are bad enough but I hate these ones the most because they are used in such a nasty way to create a divide.

I hate the terms jab or jabbed, a jab is actually a boxing punch. I also hate the term 'shot'. People should refer to it as vaccine or injection which it is.

Do you never use "slang" terms then?

A jab is also a "sudden thrust or stab" it isn't just a boxing term. I suspect the boxing term is named after the actual meaning of "jab"

@Maestoso

If you've had two vaccinations you are fully vaccinated until you go past the date your booster is due. Like horses and dogs that have annual vaccination boosters. But, if we're overdue for a booster, do we need to start the program again (like horses and dogs)?

What happens if you're under 50 so don't get a booster? Will I suddenly no longer be fully vaccinated but double vaccinated after all

It’s a mind fuck @lockdownmadnessdotcom

No more vaccination for you- You’ve had your max vax

I cannot believed so many of you are upset by such an innocuous phrase, sorry but it's bonkers!

I'm glad every time I hear it tbh as the alternative is something of genuine concern.

What the fuck does social distance mean anyway?

I'm glad every time I hear it tbh as the alternative is something of genuine concern.

Which alternative?

Half jabbed? Single jabbed? Triple jabbed? Not jabbed? Booster jabbed?

Which alternative?

Not being jabbed at all, er, obviously.

Well no, not obviously, because as I pointed out, there is more than one alternative to being “double jabbed”.

The third definition of 'jab' from Wiktionary:

(Britain) A medical hypodermic injection (vaccination or inoculation)

Fully vaccinated is correct!

Until we get offered a third jag. Then what will "fully vaccinated" mean?
