jump

jump
   1. to rob
   From the pouncing. An English 19th-century use since revived in America:
    Instead of 'jumping' those stores for an average of forty dollars... (Lavine, 1930)
   2. a single act of copulation
   Normally a male usage, but he does not literally have to leap on his partner:
    You've never had a quick jump in the hay in your life. (Steinbeck, 1961)
   To jump is to copulate and a junior jumper is a youthful rapist.
   3. to leave in a forbidden or illegal way
   Thus to jump ship is to stay ashore wrongly, of a sailor, although it may be used of other desertion:
    Moscow Centre officers who were thinking of jumping ship... (le Carré, 1980)
   A prisoner not on remand may, if he absconds, jump bail; and if you leave somewhere such as a restaurant without paying your bill in America you may be said to jump a check.
