Do you know what jaunt means? - Teddy - 04-28-2014 04:24 AM
At a hackathon designing an app involving self guided tours. Considering a name that includes jaunt. My partner says that people don't know what that word means.
1) What do you think it means? 2) What do you think the average app user thinks?

I'm going back to my early childhood here - the word 'jaunt' was used in The Tomorrow People - a British TV series in the 70s for children, which has had an American reboot.
The tomorrow people used to jaunt from one location to another. This means they would dematerialise purely by the power of their own mind, and reappear wherever they wanted to. This whole activity was instantaneous.
Found this through google:

It sounds like a word they would use in England.

To go on a jaunt is to go on a journey
