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

@INB4 - you're probably Scottish hence the use of 'jag'. Down south everyone says 'jab'

'Shielding' is awful. I imagine someone cowering in a corner under a canopy of medieval shields, possibly with a knight standing by ready to smite Covid with his sword. I'm sure I can hear clanking sounds every time somebody says it.

What else would you call it?

BUBBLES

Oh and "rule of 6" did my head in every time

I'm doubled jabbed, sinopharm and Pfizer 😉
Quadruple jabbed in the literal sense

You need to get a life, OP. Seriously. And I bet you have poor SPAG.

It will be triple jabbed very soon...

😂😂😂

What?

I do love MN

Double jabbed sounds unnecessarily violent

It does, doesn’t it? Go for your vaccine, come home with a shiner.

OMG! This isn't Pedants' Corner! What is the OP missed lots of school because her family donkey died and she couldn't get there.

By the way, you shouldn't start a sentence with "and"' .

HTH.

It was the goat. The donkey is still going strong all these years later. Stubborn ass.

Well clearly it is because this is a pedantic thread.

I didn’t say I have perfect SPAG, just that I bet OP’s is poor.

You mean ‘What if’ not ‘what is’.

HTH.

😂😂😂

Someone’s triggered. Multiple emojis are a sign of it.

I bet you’re right, you know. You sound smart.

It seems to have fallen out of favour now, but the one that got me was when vaccines were first rolled out and it was all about getting ‘jabs into arms’. I just kept thinking that it was a good job it didn’t have to be given into buttock muscles cos not sure the BBC would have coped with reporting about ‘jabs in arses’ all the time.

Smart enough to know people who quibble over ‘I’m jabbed’ vs ‘I have been jabbed’ are tedious,

I knew it, could tell from your posts. Your intelligence shines through. So glad you came to share it with us all.

Surely it’s your own intelligence you’re prizing, what with your correction of ‘I’m jabbed’.

No, it’s definitely yours.

No need, just stop the pedantry and all will be forgiven.

Can’t do that I’m afraid. Could you just hide the thread?
