👉 "Jack in the pulpit" is a phrase that humorously describes someone who's fully engaged and passionate about their cause, standing up front and center like a preacher on a sermon, but with a side of sarcasm or even a bit of menace. It's like saying "I'm on the pulpit, and I'm not going anywhere, unless you're the one who's trying to shut me down."
Here's an edgy example sentence: "As the church choir sang 'Amazing Grace' in jack in the pulpit, the congregation whispered, 'Maybe we should just let them play the organ instead!'"
