POLL: Should we use 'Jab' or 'Jag' as slang for injection?

It is simple three-letter slang for a medical term defining these strange and concerning times of Covid-19.

Yet opinion is divided, particularly in Scotland, on whether ‘jab’ or ‘jag’ should be in use in place of injection.

Even linguists of the Scots and English tongues can be divided on the issue, while others cry ‘what does it matter?’

But the subject arose again in heated debate on social media this week after we reported on Highland Council and NHS Highland preparations to launch ‘the Jabbernaut’ – a mobile lorry vaccination service for the Highlands.

Does 'the Jaggernaut' have a better ring to it? You decide.
