Is it Jab or Jag?!

[FawnFrenchieMum]

I see both written and never know which is right?

I always say jab but wondering if I’m wrong?

YANBU - Jab
YABU - Jag

I think jag is a Scots usage.

It's either depending on where in the UK you are.

Depends if you’re Scottish or English I think!

Depends where you live.

Its jab

A jab is a vaccine. A jag is a car! :P

Vaccine

Its jab

Have you informed Scotland?

It’s jab ‘as in jab you with a needle’

Jag is definitely Scots use as in a jaggy thistle or nettle.

I've heard jag used in some parts of Yorkshire and Northumberland too.

Ahh interesting re the Scottish being Jag! It’s bothered me for a while! (Yes I know I need to get out more!)

Agree with @WellLarDeDar though re Jag being a car

Depends where you're from. Neither is wrong. Isn't variety amazing? Life's rich tapestry and all that.

Vaccine.

Jab or Jag just sounds stupid to me.

It's a jag. Because it's jaggy, like a jaggy nettle.

As long as no-one says ‘jabs/jags in arms’, I don’t think it matters! Can’t stand that phrase. If the vaccination had had to be given in the bottom, would have loved to hear ‘jabs in arses’ being bandied about as the new catchphrase

Never heard jag used ever. Actually jab annoys me too - what's wrong with vaccine? I don't think jab will be helpful to those who might be a bit nervous.

I'm in Scotland and would say jag - as in "remind me, we need to book the cat in for her jags before the end of the month".

what's wrong with vaccine?
It has more syllables than necessary.

Nettles don't vaccinate you, what do they do?

It's a jag. Jabs aren't pointy.

It’s a jab. It infuriates me when I read/hear people saying “jag”. I know, I need to get a life.

Jag in Scotland

It’s a jab in your particular dialect (and mine actually). Why does it infuriate you that you speak in a different dialect?

Jag is Scottish.

It’s jab, as in jabbed with a needle.
