How to use jaw in a sentence?
TRAPPIST-1 was hands down the most amazing thing I've ever worked on, i remember when that paper hit my desk, I glanced at the light curve of the star and my jaw hit the floor. For all my work on transiting exoplanets, I had never seen that. It was the result of 500 hours of observation that revealed seven planets. I saw these syncopated dips and it was the most beautiful data I had ever seen. What an amazingly bizarre system it was.
It hit my jaw bone went down my throat, ripped apart my voice box and my Esophagus and uh bounced off my spine.
He went in with eight gunshot wounds, a broken thumb/wrist, fractured jaw, split tongue, missing teeth, two collapsed lungs, and almost completely devoid of blood.
My jaw still drops a little at that.
Usenet isn't a right. It's a right, a left, and a swift uppercut to the jaw.
