There are a bucket load of derived terms for this word already on Wiktionary (e.g. orange juice, mango juice, apple juice, etc, etc). A bot should list these for us. Chop chop! ---> Tooironic 13:55, 2 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

archaic spelling

I've encountered the archaic spelling iuyce but I'm not sure how to incorporate it here. — This unsigned comment was added by 128.187.97.19 (talk) at 22:01, 9 February 2012 (UTC).Reply

Adjective

2016 November 12, Matt Traudt, VPN + Tor: Not Necessarily a Net Gain[1]:
I would consider VPN companies much juicer targets for hackers who want to uncover lots of people doing illegal/embarrassing things as compared to some random residential ISP.

Some other hits on the web for the phrase “much juicer targets”. Looks like a malapropism or pun for choice. But maybe somewhere in the US people think there is such an adjective. Fay Freak (talk) 11:57, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Fay Freak: juicy (Exciting; titillating.)? —Suzukaze-c (talk) 23:35, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Well, one finds the phrase “more exciting targets", but maybe this is not a sensation blackhats have in their daily business, and it’s still strange usage; probably exaggeration. Fay Freak (talk) 01:53, 24 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

According to the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary,

" Usually, Compound words / phrases have early/late stress, respectively. Yet, among grammatical compounds pronounced with late stress are those where the first element names the material or ingredient (except for the terms cake, juice, water, so ˈorange juice), so a ˌpork ˈpie, a ˌrubber ˈduck, or a ˌpaper ˈbag (bag made of paper) but ˈpaper bag (bag for newspapers).
