A shot of tequila? Or my team having a shot at winning world series? There are lots of shots.
Don't brits use the same way, i.e. "Take a jab at it"?
- not a brit so idk
Interestingly Greene’s Dictionary of Slang cites more than a century of US use of “jab” for injection. Seems like it must have died out in the US and revived a bit lately.
