Jinx

A jinx, in popular superstition and folklore, is:

  • A type of curse placed on a person that makes them prey to many minor misfortunes and other forms of bad luck;
  • A person afflicted with a similar curse, who, while not directly subject to a series of misfortunes, seems to attract them to anyone in his vicinity.
  • An object or person that brings bad luck.
  • A penalty that one person can invoke on another when the two of them say the same thing at the same time.
  • The superstition can also be referenced when talking about a future event with too much confidence. A statement such as "We're sure to win the contest!" can be seen as a jinx because it tempts fate, thereby bringing bad luck. The event itself is referred to as "jinxed".

    In a similar way, calling attention to good fortune – e.g. noting that a certain athlete is having a streak of particularly good fortune – is thought to "jinx" it. If the good fortune ends immediately afterward, the jinx is then blamed for the turn of events, often seriously.

    Jinx (band)

    Jinx is a Croatian pop band from Zagreb which was formed in 1993.

    They began their career under the name "High Jinx" coming from a concert in a Zagreb night-club Saloon.

    The members of Jinx are guitarist Coco Mosquito, vocalist Jadranka Bastajic Yaya, drummer Berko Muratovic, keyboardist Mr. Goody, trumpet player Igor Pavlica and bassist Adam Matijasevic. Former members of the band are Goony, Kiky the Kid, bassist Samir Kadribasic, trumpet player Rudi and saxophone player Jordes.

    The prefix "High" was dropped in 1995, since all fans who attended their first gigs referred to them solely as Jinx. Their first album, Sextasy, was released in English. Berko and Samir joined the band in 1996. In 1997, Jinx signed their first record contract with Aquarius Records and released their second album called Second Hand. In 2001, Percussionist Boris Popov joined the band.

    Jinx disbanded in 2002 and made a comeback in 2007 with the album Na zapadu (In the West), having signed with Dallas Records.

    Jinx (Cabot novel)

    Jinx is a 2007 young adult novel by American author Meg Cabot. The novel has darker themes than Cabot's earlier best-selling The Princess Diaries series of novels.

    Plot summary

    Jean "Jinx" Honeychurch is a sixteen-year-old girl from Iowa. Being certain that she was born with bad luck, she goes to stay with her Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted in Manhattan, New York because her ex-boyfriend is stalking her.

Jean also meets a guy both she and Tory have affection for, Zack. This along with the witch thing puts Tory in a blind rage and she decides to plot against Jinx in more ways than the walls of the preppy school of Chapman where they all attend high school. At a school dance Tory flys jeans ex to town, which sends Jean into a panic attack. She then returnes home and Tory ties Jean up to cut her and drink her blood and take Jean's powers. Zack come out and rescues Jean, who then exposes Tory for what she really is. Then Tory is sent to boot camp and Jean and Zack end up dating.

    Jinx

    by: Quarashi

    I give a shit about the kick
    That's been coming from the underground spot
    Beating the pop up
    The fuck up that lays all around
    Now give me sound from the other side
    Every night it's gonna go on
    And flow on and on and on and on
    Mister son of a gun I got a run now
    My time is over run you over like a Range Rover
    Oh my God, incredible superstar
    Throw some lyrics make them run like a super car
    When you know where I'm at, your fatter than fat
    'Cause help me God if I ain't the cool cat
    Unequal, it's not even legal
    It's chased by the rap police like Bugsy Seagel
    Baseline, baseline we've got fools on the case
    And their giving me baseline, baseline, baseline
    Baseline, baseline we've got fools on the case
    And their giving me baseline, baseline, baseline
    Now we've back in the game
    The Quarashi pain it's plain
    I see the suckers fall out
    And the fuckers call out,"Pick me up"
    But they don't know what it's about
    I do my shit on the mic and I'm pleasing the crowd
    Jump back, get back or else your getting a smack on your face
    Just like your daddy used to smack you way back in the days
    This ain't no silly ass game I'm playing
    Hear what I'm saying, now start praying
    Baseline, baseline we've got fools on the case
    And their giving me baseline, baseline, baseline
    Baseline, baseline we've got fools on the case
    And their giving me baseline, baseline, baseline
    What we have is breaking us down
    What we had is breaking us down
    What we had is breaking us down
    What we had is breaking us down
    What we had is breaking us down
    Baseline, baseline we've got fools on the case
    And their giving me baseline, baseline, baseline
    Baseline, baseline we've got fools on the case
    And their giving me baseline, baseline, baseline
