How to use jugular in a sentence?

1. Luis Padilla:

   It looks like he’s trying to kill that kid, he went straight for the jugular.

2. Alanis Morissette:

   I see parallels between ‘Yellowjackets’ and my perspective while songwriting: the sheer intensity, that going for the jugular with no fear around going for the profane, i’ve strived my entire career to support the empowerment of women and sensitives, and see the world through the female lens, and what’s so wonderful about this show is that each character is allowed to be dynamic and complex as opposed to oversimplified, reduced versions of women. I feel honoured to be a part of the legacy of ‘Yellowjackets.’.

3. Daniel Montgomery:

   Making jokes at their expense is going to show they're aware there is a problem. But he can't go for the jugular.
