Jamminess is the quality of being jammy — that is, suspiciously lucky in a way that feels almost unfair. If someone wins the raffle, bets on a long shot and wins, or narrowly avoids disaster through dumb luck, that's jamminess at work. The word is very British, sitting in the same vocabulary as fluke and sod's law, and it carries a mix of admiration and mild envy.
The sheer jamminess of him finding a parking spot right outside the venue on a Saturday was infuriating.
