How it's used
Focus on the physical force and speed of the emission, as it implies a pressurized release rather than a simple leak or flow. While it can describe technical or mechanical processes, it is frequently used in contexts involving liquids like water or ink. Be aware that the term carries a strong sexual connotation in casual speech, so context is essential to avoid unintended meanings.
Examples
The water gun shot out a jet of water.
Why did you shoot out the ink?
Related words
Common phrases
to shoot a jet of water
Common mistake
Avoid using this word for general leaking or slow dripping, as it specifically requires the sense of being forcefully expelled from an opening.
