Practically speaking - Jinx doesn't mean anything. It's groundless superstition. The way it is colloquially used, usually means: If you boldly wish for success, you will probably be unsuccessful (i.e. the 'vengeful universe' will hand you something you don't want) ...Something like that.

To jinx someone is to predict the (usually bad) outcome of what's about to happen to them. Example: Kyle - "You really ought to leave that girl alone. This is the second time she's come to your house unannounced. Eventually, she'll be showing up to your job." Robert - "Dude, don't jinx me!"

Don't say something that will bring me bad luck on this thing.

Don't say something that will cause something bad to happen; sort of like a curse. If someone does say something you think is a jinx, you spit and say kenahora to reverse the jinx.
