jag
Bout of excess
A jag is a sharp projection or a period of unrestrained activity: a crying jag, a drinking jag.
The projection sense appears in jagged, meaning having rough, sharp points.
The activity sense suggests a bout or spree, often with negative connotations of excess.
To jag is to cut or tear unevenly, or to prick. (Capitalized Jag is informal for Jaguar, the car brand.)
