What does JOG mean in Scrabble?
verb
To run at a slow steady pace.
Jogging as a mass habit is far younger than the word: the verb is centuries old and meant to shake or nudge, which survives in jogging somebody's memory. The running sense took over in the 1960s and is now so complete that the older one sounds like a pun.
