ESL here, jab sound so fucking weird as a synonym to an injection, especially if you look up its etymology.

>The verb “jab” is originally a Scottish form of “job”, an onomatopoeic word used since the 16th century to describe the pecking of birds, and then for any poking or thrusting action. (Romantically, “to job faces” with another meant to kiss them ardently.) Hence also the use of “jab” to mean a boxer’s straight punch with the non-dominant hand. (“Jab him, if you can, with your left,” advises a 1901 manual of self-defence by the British boxing champion Robert James “Bob” Fitzsimmons.) The additional sense of mockery or raillery (as in “verbal jabs”) is inspired by this martial context.

>The medical sense of “jab”, meanwhile, has a rather less salubrious origin, as a 1914 dictionary of criminal slang introduces it: “Jab, current amongst morphine and cocaine fiends. A hypodermic injection.” Even if we haven’t yet had our healthier kind of modern jab, we might feel as though the government has repeatedly punched us in the face.
