In the context of online forums especially, it carries the connotation of a subtle put-down, passive-aggressive remark or an obvious attack on someone. Not the same as flaming, because flaming is obvious and usually angry and incites hatred.

Often, you will see something to the effect of "did you just take a jab at me" because the remark in question isn't blatantly obvious.

In boxing/martial arts: a technique done by the foremost bodily weapon (99% of the time, the foremost fist). The strike is linear and the power is not the best stopping technique due to limited displacement of weight in the time executed. It is often a "feeler" technique designed to 'stun', or 'follow up' with another technique (usually the cross-punch).

More power can be mustered with the strike if the hips are stabilized, the shoulders displaced forwards, and the feet grounded from their footwork. This is subject to the art and the user, but a jab can muster more of the body than simply the arm's extension and muscle.

A jab can also be a foot strike with the frontal foot in a sideways stance that "pokes" at the opponent with the intent of fending them off, or causing "stunning" pain to the shin, groin, abdomen, or higher targets. This "foot fencing" is designed to follow up with another technique or to buy time.

A jab is a jack ass bitch. This describes someone who is a gwap. Jabs are jerks and bitches that treat you like crap. If you run into a jab you should probably go home and hide in your closet.
