jab
noun
A quick stab or blow
(
boxing
), a short straight punch (wikipedia:Jab)
A medical injection
In American English, the word is also used when someone is bothering someone else, what is commonly known as
verbal jabs
. "Don't throw jabs at me" and "Quit jabbing!" are popular sayings. This may be because the verbal annoyances are not substantial attacks, and are similar to a boxing jab in that they are only annoying (not a knockout blow).
verb
(
jab, b, ed
)
To poke or thrust abruptly, or to make such a motion.
To deliver a quick punch.
