Thread Name: BS: Same As Slang
Subject: RE: BS: Same As Slang
I agree that one widely used slang meaning of "jam" is:          Playing (hot). (Usually: to Improvise.)
Ex: That band was "jamming" tonight.

However, I have also heard young people say "That's my jam!" when they hear a song they like on the tv or radio.
