Phrase in a jam
Text The phrase "in a jam," in this podcast, means in a difficult situation: "Iva knew she was in a jam when she realized that she didn't have enough money to pay for the taxi she was in." A "traffic jam" is traffic that is very slow because there are too many cars on the road: "Seattle has horrible traffic jams around 6:00 p.m." If a place is "jam-packed," it means that the place has many people and it is very crowded: "The movie theater was jam-packed because everyone wanted to see the new movie that night." Finally, a "jam session" happens when a group of musicians meet and play music informally, often without written music, making up the songs as they play: "Why don't you bring your saxophone and come over for a jam session at my house on Saturday?"
