| Oct 6, 2016 at 21:13 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | It seems incredibly unlikely that any native Anglophone accorded the status of "professor" could write such poor English. The last sentence is syntactic garbage, and the sudden introduction of such a slangy usage as juice in the context of relatively "high register" text just comes across as ignorant in the extreme. | |

| Oct 6, 2016 at 18:49 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | What is the essay called, (invitation to responsibility?) and who is the author? Is it a school essay by any chance? Is it your homework? I can guess the meaning, "juice" probably stands for momentum, energy, spark... But this sounds American English to me, and I'm not American. So, I'm outta here. | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 18:42 | comment | added | J.R.♦ | user42804 - What stangdon and I are both trying to say is that, when asking about what something means, it's generally considered poor practice to simply ask, "What does this mean?" It's far better to say, "When I looked up this word on sites A and B, I learned X, Y, and Z, but I'm still confused." Read this meta post for more guidance and information. @stangdon - I understood where you were going with your comment, but a brand-new user might have trouble catching the gist of it (hence my follow-on remark). | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 18:39 | comment | added | user42804 | could it mean respect or power .google gave th at meaning as a slang.i dont know could it be correct | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 18:31 | comment | added | stangdon | @J.R. - Oh, I actually agree with you, but if you google "define juice", you get some answers that are at least suggestive. I just want to be sure that the OP has done that and still doesn't understand, rather than just using ELL as a substitute for a dictionary or web search. | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 18:27 | comment | added | user42804 | there isnt any link. i read it from an essay.invitation to responsibility | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 18:23 | comment | added | J.R.♦ | @stangdon - I agree with you, we want people to show their research when they post a question. That said, I can see why this particular question might vex a learner. | |
| Oct 6, 2016 at 18:21 | comment | added | stangdon | What do you think? Did you look up the meanings of "lose" and "juice"? What meanings do you think might apply? | |
