Couldn't think of jaded. Tried je-m'en-fou-tiste - fits the definition but admittedly not the right language.

I got junk by accident and didn't get jalopy because I couldn't spell it, so I'll call that a draw.

"junior" for childish?

No, "junior" just means not as tenured, which is why it's used without any kind of negative connotation in job titles, like "junior project manager." You wouldn't use "junior" to as a negative commentary.

On the other hand, "juvenile" is a negative assessment of someone's behavior. Our junior project managers may act juvenile, but hopefully not.

Yeah, like Marlowe, I've always heard it used to describe a ratty, junky vehicle - think the Joad family in The Grapes of Wrath.

Rather embarrassed at how many times I tried "jump" just to make sure that wasn't the ballet leap, until I finally remembered the ballet leap actual term...

The medical clue reads backward and is a little confusing - sounds like the answer you're asking for is a symptom of the diagnosis, yellowed skin. Could maybe say something like, "Yellow skin is a medical symptom of [insert correct answer here]." I get what it says as currently written, but it's awkward.

Isn't "julienne" the outcome of the cutting activity (i.e the food itself) and not the action of cutting?
