Is that because you were previously unaware of an extremely common idiom?

I am aware of the term, having lived in a former British colony. It's hard to verbalize it. But it was just so sudden and became THE jab not just a jab, and people were talking about it everywhere. It felt very forced and like it came out of a marketing department.
It was not a regular term in US before Covid, and always sounded strange when British media used it.
