Just in case

The cautious use JIC to stand for "just in case." "Just in case," of course, means "on the off chance something unexpected happens."

For example, if you tell your dad you are preparing to embark on a four-day road trip, he may tell you to "pack a car essentials kit, JIC" - so that if you encounter car trouble, you'll be at least moderately prepared.

Example

JIC the traffic is bad, we should leave an hour before the show

It never hurts to be prepared
