Literary notes about joggle (AI summary)

In literature, the word "joggle" is sometimes used to describe a specific, perhaps sudden, movement or disruption, as demonstrated in Rudyard Kipling’s "Just So Stories." In this notable example, the instruction—"You can look over my shoulder, but you mustn’t joggle" [1]—suggests that "joggle" is an act to be avoided, possibly due to its potential to disturb or destabilize a situation. This usage hints at an underlying caution against impulsive or erratic movements, a subtle reminder of maintaining a composed state even in moments of casual observation.
  1. You can look over my shoulder, but you mustn’t joggle.
    — from Just so stories by Rudyard Kipling
