It is one minute past midnight and it dawns on me that my first definition of �jactation �was slightly flawed. By that, I mean that it was incorrect!
Jactation = The �Walk� of Jacques Tati, , the French comedian born of a Russian Father and a Dutch mother, (�Les Vacances de M. Hulot�, �Mon Oncle�, etc.)

Well, if we want to do only ONE thing for our poor planet, then, we must stop, right away all of our terrible jactations !
jacta = thrown ( as in: �alea jacta est � )
tation : processus/ state of mind
which is what we do:- buy �one use only �: �throw away � stuff, so jactation is the state of mind of anybody hooked on our cosumer society : we buy... and throw most of it away.....
So, a jactatator, would be a one-use consumer...... who, by his jactations pullutes our planet with a lot of garbadge ;o) |

You �re all wrong!
A Jactato is a Jacket Potato (Baked in its skin ). A jactator is someone who eats a jactato
and jactation is the act of eating one of these.
Jactation : the act of eating a baked potato. |

jactation is a fight of jackals when they touch each other by their teeth and make strange noise with their teeth - they open and close their mouth very quickly - chatter
= "chatter teeth" of jackals = jactation
