What's the general term that you use to describe what this is used for?

[AndrésC64]

This is used to give someone a/an:

Shot

Injection

Jab

Poke

Inoculation

Vaccination

Other

[A_Bell]

Jab is stupid. It's a government or pharma cutesy marketing term.

[AndrésC64]

What do you call it?

[A_Bell]

An injection/shot

[OpenClose]

It's a hypodermic needle. Could be used for a lot of things. I used one recently to remove some bubbles from the paint protection film on my car.

But I'll just go with "shot".

[Fireguy17]

Syringe, and I use it to give my cat his insulin shot twice a day.

[menina]

If I'm speaking English, I use the term "shot".

[musicbrain5]

Usually I say shot. That looks like a diabetic syringe, so injection also works.

[douride2]

I use 3 of those terms to describe what that is for. A, B or F works.

[Guardian45]

As a ex-paramedic, I primarily say injection, but all of these are possible.

[dustybiker]

Syringe.

[AndrésC64]

But what is it used for?

[dustybiker]

Heroine? 😁 (Sorry you struck me in a silly mood)

[AndrésC64]

😁👍

[MrJMM]

I used to say injection but now I say a shot.

[petitedollbabee]

Injection

[Cherry234]

[AsaKyo]

Illegal drugs

[XXblack88]

[NathanDavis]

piercings...

[AndrésC64]

Not that kind of needle.

[Guardian45]

Huh?

[NathanDavis]

@Guardian45 they still pierce though...

[AndrésC64]

A crowbar can also pierce.

[NathanDavis]

and pencils as well

[AndrésC64]

Exactly. And none of those things can be used for what this one is. So what do you call what this one is used for?

[NathanDavis]

well, yes I could... but it would not be healthy at all

[AndrésC64]

So you're just trying to be a contrarian. Got it.

[NathanDavis]

you're the one that started with the "no" though...

[AndrésC64]

Because you were being obtuse.

[NathanDavis]

so you had to be dense... and can't tell it was just a joke

[AndrésC64]

You're the one that thought saying that a needle can be used for piercings is a joke. When the fact is needles can be used for piercings just not the one that I showed. So you either don't know the difference between a hypodermic needle and a needle used for piercings for body jewelry, or you think that it's somehow funny to say that a hypodermic needle could be used for body piercing jewelry. That's just hilarious. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[NathanDavis]

I actually know... in fact, there are three types and you missed one... lol

that's funny too

[AndrésC64]

Three types of what? And where did I claim to have ever made an exhaustive list in the first place? Perhaps you need some reading comprehension classes.

[NathanDavis]

you did miss the one I meant... and only went with the ones you know

that's why it is funny

[AndrésC64]

Sure you did. And that must be why it was so hilarious.

[NathanDavis]

exactly... lol

half of my dumb jokes go missed because people don't even get it lmao...

they just don't know better... and mostly, I am amusing myself

HOWEVER... I only call them injections, or in Spanish "inyección"
which is a very cool word in Spanish, coming from the Latin -injectio- or something like that

[sirderpsalot123]

Shot or injection

[jimmy2]

Insulin

[AndrésC64]

It's used for more than insulin. What is the general term? You give an insulin...

[WeedPaganMan]

Mind control

[Guardian45]

Say WHAAAAAT?
