Hello. Would you please tell me what the underlined part means in the context below?
Does 'jammy-ness' mean something like sticky (and sexy) feeling like a jam?
( Vally and Eddie were in a cafe, Eddie is Vally's big brother. Eddie's eyes were on a waitress, in her tight gold qipao.)
"You must be able to recognize a jammy bit of jam when you see her."
Eddie lifted his scone to his mouth. "And actual jam doesn't count, by the way."
A red-headed shop girl who worked across the street gave Vally a fluttery feeling in his stomach when he saw her,
but the general idea of jammy-ness was foreign to him. The Tea Salon, with its fine china and sumptuous furnishings, suddenly seemed too grown-up.
