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

@M4J4

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

Shouldn't that be a full stop at the end of the sentence?

Not a pedant so not bothered about missing full stops.

No sense of humour either apparently.

Clearly not. I’ll leave you to the hilarity.

I think OP has inadvertently coined the next ‘in’ phrase : maxvaxxed covers the booster / double /single status. May I suggest the following for partial / got around to recent vaccination: slackvaxxed

Track and trace is for parcels …. That always sets me off!

Yeah "a jab" is just one incidence of getting a vaccine injected into your arm. "Being jabbed" is therefore receiving an injection, and it stands to reason from that if you have had two injections, you are "double jabbed".

Sorry OP, YABU!

It is cringey - soon the triple jabbed will be turning on the double jabbed and the unvaxxed and unclean will be laughing.

@Marmunia75 you’re not getting the vaccine because you’re relying on the vaccinated to keep you safe. Show some gratitude.

Nothing will beat ‘blended learning’ as the trigger for internal screaming.

My trigger words are 'home schooling'.

Bubbles bursting. As in "my son's bubble has burst at school, we're back to the home schooling ffs". Vom.

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

And they need to stop now - it's jagged! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Oh bubble!! How I hate that word now. It never made any sense to me in the context of bursting= someone had covid.

"If we can get as many needles in arms as possible"

Arg, nooooo! I hate it. I am severely needle phobic and this phrase makes my arsehole just suck up into my body. And the constant footage and photos of people getting "jagged" too.

Jagged is also a fab album by Gary Numan

If we are on the subject of phrases/words that popped up during the pandemic.. I hate "frontline". Especially when used by someone who works in a supermarket.

Only read the opening post, but am going to read the rest. But, until I do that, I'm thinking is this another form of 'misophonia'? Is it not just sounds that really grate, but the way words are formed as well?

A jab is a type of punch In boxing yes, but even then it's a short, sharp punch. A jab is also a poke or a stab (according to the dictionary I bought in 1991).

Jab/jabbed aren't new. It's just that because of Covid we hear them many times a day, whereas before you might not hear it from one year to the next.

I'm 60 and as a baby had all my jabs. And if someone is emphasising a point and pokes their finger into their listener's chest that's jabbing them too.

I say (if I need to) that I've had both jabs. Given what's on pretty well everyone's mind I think it's understood which jabs I mean.

When people describe things as feeling 'unsafe'. It just sounds so feeble for some reason.

Yes I hate this.

Most unvaccinated people are relying on their own natural immunity or general healthy immune system. I acknowledge that some unvaccinated cannot get the vaccine but as vaccinated people can still transmit the virus people can't rely on them not to spread it around.

I think of John "2 jags" Prescott!

We stayed in a holiday cottage (I know, sorry a MN crime) and we got sent detailed instructions on "how to check out safely". I was hoping it would advise against abseiling or jumping from a first or second floor window, or not trapping your fingers in the door as you closed it, but rather boringly it essentially meant putting your towels and bedding separately in the linen bags provided.

I hate every single phrases that relates to the pandemic.

'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?

Well, I don't know, do I? I'm not in the business of coming up with names for things. I'm just joining in with the supposedly lighthearted banter about irritating Covid related terminology.

That was for Talktalkchatchat.

It's 'double-dabba-doo'd' round our way.

You are so right! It's as bad as a rogue apostrophe
