IT JUST WORKS

Like DaVinci's "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication", when software does very complex things with very simple and intuitive human interaction in a reliable way. I first heard "It Just Works" used regularly within Apple by Peter Hoddie and Ian Ritchie of the QuickTime team in January 1993. Later, Steve Jobs and others started using it, probably because Peter and his team had presented QuickTime and used that phrase.

just the billet

From memory - derived at Sedbergh School Cumbria

Where billet (french for ticket) simply replaces the word ticket in the well known "just the ticket" phrase

A statement of agreement!

just enougher

People that do just enough to get by. Unmotivated but happy with getting by in life. Someone that is satisfied with mediocrity.
You are the best rep I've ever had. Too bad you are going to make me a bunch of money and never be an owner cause you're a just enougher. As long as you're happy though.

just what

You can use this word in different contexts for example: if you are crazy, if you drop something, if you find out you’re having a kid etc. Just why isn’t there a definition of this.
Example one:

Girl: what!? You punched him!!
Boy: umm... yeahhh, he was flirting with you

Girl: he’s my brother, I was the one who asked him to get me a drink!!!
Boy: ohhhhhhh.....

Example 2:
Boy: what’s up cutie?
Girl: what? Did you say something?
Boy: yes cutie

Girl: bishh, go back to the friend zone

Boy: ughhhhh 😑

Example 3:

Girl: I hope I ain’t pregnant

Boy: we both home

Girl: let me see the results no

Boy: what does it say?
Girl: shiiiiiittttttt!! I’m pregnant!!!!!!
Boy: what!!!!!!!!!! *faints*

Girl: wake up, omg, I was just kidding

The story carrys on.

This is the different ways you can use the word “what”, as you can see in these plays that I , for some reason, can up with on the spot so they are weird.
Sorry I wrote the definition for the word what but I ain’t bothered to change this so yeah 😅😂 Just why??, Just what happened that made me forget that I’m defining the phrase “just what” (do you see what I did there, I just added the definition so that’s how you can use the phrase “just what”

I promise I’m not forgetful in real life.
