I'm tempted to speedy this as blatant bullshit. Does any Sinitic language have /s/ at the end of a syllable? —Mahāgaja (formerly Angr) · talk 08:49, 23 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
Other than Old Chinese, I'm not aware of any dialect with /s/ at the end of a syllable (other than in some loanwords, like X光, which could be pronounced as iks1 gwong1 in Cantonese). — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 04:30, 24 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

jux/juks/jags – Meaning "horny". For example, "Jinne meisie, jy maak my nou sommer lekker jags."
We have an entry for jags. Urban Dictionary (the November 2, 2009 entry) and this slightly NSFW tweet (noting the meaning of piel) suggest the spelling jas is in use in English, although finding durably archived cites may be a challenge.
