jam

A: Umm, hey, a couple of questions though. Umm, about that-that-that last move where the woman tripped you and then pinned you to the floor,

what-what-what-what would you do next?

B: Well, she would take her keys and try to jam them



What does jam mean here?



Thank you.

presumably there were some more words after jame them, otherwise it doesn't make sense. Jam what? The keys (can't be jammed in themselves).

Context's not clear.

I am guessing into her attacker. To cause enough pain that the person loosens his or her grip and helps you get away.

Grammar GeekI am guessing into her attacker. To cause enough pain that the person loosens his or her grip and helps you get away.

There are a couple of spots on the anatomy where this would be a very effective means of making him loosen his grip.

I remember reading on something on using keys as self-defence weapons and it suggested jamming one up someone's nose. Nasty.

I was trying not to be so graphic. The eye sockets are actually what's recommended. Not sure if I could do it - but then, thank goodness, I've never been in a position where I had to try. Also, into the throat. You don't break through, but a blow to that area can be quite painful.

Jam keys into eye sockets? I don't think girls can do that.

If someone attacked me I hope I'd strike out in any way possible.
