👉 The word "jam strait" refers to a narrow, shallow waterway that connects two bodies of water separated by an artificial barrier or natural boundary in the middle of a river. It's often used metaphorically in a figurative sense to represent boundaries or restrictions within a situation or environment. In a literal sense, it typically refers to the area where the waters meet and is usually characterized by narrow channels, rocky outcroppings, or other features that act as barriers between two bodies of water.
