_jack bumps_ (n.) (US) acne, allegedly caused by masturbation.
New to me, but, down yonder in East Texas, where _fist-fucking_ =
"masturbation," the colored used _fist bumps_, with the same meaning for
the same reason, back in 1947..

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
