JACTATION
This is a secret code word invented by Scotland Yard in 1888.
The word is connected to Jack the Ripper �s murders.
When the residents of London started to become extremely anxious about the murdering of women, the police invented the word JACTATION to inform all the policemen that a new murder had taken place.
JAC = Jack
TA = takes
TION = action
Meaning: Jack the Ripper has taken action again.
Very sad story but so true.

Well, lactation is all about producing milk so perhaps jactation is the producing of
juice so it �s a juice -producing cow!
Sorry we can �t help our farming background downunder!

There was once a famous politician named Jack who was famous for making long speeches that didn �t really say anything. Nowadays the word jactation is used to refer to any speech that goes in circles (which applies to most modern day political speeches).

WellI love Elizabeth �s definition best!
Here is mine:
It �s a thing only women do. When they have bought a new jacket, they hide it in the depths of their wardrobe until the time has come to admit it to their husbands / boyfriends / fathers.
Similar:
shoetation
bootation
shirtation
etc.

Jactation = Conversation with Caesar.
