jolt

The “on-again, off-again” threat of tariffs have contributed to the instability jolting stock markets, which closed on Tuesday slightly up after a day of volatile trading.

Zhoie Perez slouched against the holding cell wall in Men’s Central Jail and closed her eyes, hoping a guard would jolt her awake with the words she’d been waiting for: The bus is here!

At the end of the trip, “the ride suddenly, abruptly, and violently jolted to a halt, jarring Decedent Christopher Hawley and the other two boys in their seats.”

Red onions for their bite, scallions for their grassy brightness, pickled onions for a puckery jolt of acid.

Someone in Torrance felt two jolts, and near Los Angeles International Airport, the earthquake felt like a brief sway.
