: : : Does anyone know where the expression adjective
"jammy" comes from. I'm not sure how widely it's used but means lucky - as a kid
it was lengthened to "jammy dodger" which is a biscuit - any ideas?
I think
it comes exclusively from that biscuit confection with strawberry jam (or jelly
if you're US) inside, meaning a dodgy sort of person-with the 'dodger' bit left
out.
