Just
"Just" is a single by English alternative rock band Radiohead, released in 1995. It is the seventh track on their 1995 album The Bends. Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke wrote the song about a narcissistic friend of his, which on closer inspection is showcased by the imagery in the lyrics - a parallel to earlier My Iron Lung EP track "Lewis [Mistreated]". He also says that it was something of a competition between him and Jonny Greenwood to see who could fit the most chords into a song. "Just" is especially notable for Greenwood's guitar solo. In the UK, this single was available as two CDs: the first one featured different tracks, and the colour of the album art on the second single was inverted. In 2007, NME placed "Just" at number 34 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever. In 2008 it entered the Radiohead: The Best Of collection.

Military Dictionary and Gazetteer
just
An exercise of arms and horsemanship, performed in the Middle Ages by knights and nobles. In the joust, the combatants engaged one another singly, each against his antagonist. The weapon most in use in the joust was the lance, but sometimes the battle-axe and sword were employed. To direct the lance anywhere but at the body of the antagonist was reckoned foul play. In the joust of peace, or joute de plaisance, a foot encounter preceded the mounted combat.
just
See Joust.

Examples of just in a Sentence
In the last 48 hours we've seen record low yields on euro zone debt, falling yields on U.S. debt despite the first rate hike being just around the corner, a collapse in the euro driving the rally in the dollar, which in turn has brought weakness in commodities that yesterday led to a big sell off in stock indices, under the circumstances, it's hard to argue that the ECB's programme isn't causing waves in the markets.
Democracy Partners head Robert Creamer:
Hillary just loved it.
It made me think about: Why would he target just them? What have we done? What did they do to him? They are just normal people going about their normal lives, like everybody else, how do you know they are not American citizens? Just because they're of Mexican descent?
They are taking the first steps in their careers, but are making good progress. They are not involved in business or politics, they have never been 'star' children, they have never got pleasure from the spotlight being directed on them. They just live their own lives.
I don't like the way the votes are being tallied, i don't like it, and you don't like it either. You just don't want to say it because you're afraid of the press. You're afraid of the press.
