Jugular means "of the neck". It can be anything involving the neck, although the jugular vein is probably the best known use. Comes from Latin "jugum", which means a yoke of horses or oxen. The harness went around the neck of the animals, so the association with neck.

The jugular is a main blood vessel in the neck. When someone has their throat cut, it's that jugular artery carrying blood that's severed. When people say someone is "going for the jugular" that implies they are very aggressive and looking to finish or win something.
the problem with that phrase is that jugular is a noun, not an adjective. Perhaps you misheard and it's "you're pretty jocular", which means someone who likes to joke and laugh and is a fun person.

Do you mean "your" or "you're"? The jugular is a major vein in the neck if that helps.

It is a part of your throat. Most people die from blood loss if it is sliced. Very important to keep it safe.
