It was not a very clear definition, but the Hindu understood him. "Yees, sahib," he said; "smif that way." He pointed to a hut at a little distance. "That's all right. Fetch the smith along, and I'll get you to tell him what I want." "I know, sahib, I tell them. I do big trade in this place. They silly jossers, sahib; think you a djinn." "Well, put that right, and hurry up, will you?"
I believe we are each to be assigned certain duties, which I suppose we shall be expected to perform; but our first duty is to you, our first care must be for your happiness, and, so far as we can prevent it, you shall never again be worried by those old jossers the Elders, or anybody else.
I don' know what I'd ha' done if I'd lost a leg, same as some of them other poor jossers in th' hospital!" The motor ride was another source of gratification to Briggs.

"That some time you'll come for the guv'ner to investigate a crime wot's been committed in a cookshop, sir and then, wot ho! But," he added lugubriously, "they never comes to no violent end, them food-selling jossers; they always dies in their beds like a parcel of heathen!" Narkom made no reply.
They sat in the Pit at the Oxford that night, and there was a South African sketch on with two of the chronic-est jossers you ever see, gassing away in khâki behind earthworks of sacks stuffed with straw, and standing up to chuck sentimental and patriotic ballads off their chests, while the Enemy, who had kept up an intermittent rifle-practice at the wing, left off presumably to listen.
Dick, my boy, did you ever see such a beauty in all your born days? No wonder that these old jossers the Elders are anxious to keep the darling alive eh, what?"
