DEFINITION

In North American English, this phrasal verb typically means:

1. to participate in making music (collaborating, improvising, composing, writing, performing, etc.), often in a group

2. to freely and enthusiastically dance to a song

EXAMPLES

1. “Whenever my buds and I get together, which isn’t as often as we’d all like, we whip out our musical instruments–I play the electric guitar–and jam out all night. We always have a blast!”

2. “My niece and her friends cannot help but jam out every time one of Taylor Swift’s songs starts playing. It doesn’t matter if they’re at the mall, in a grocery store, or in the car… They dance like no one is watching.”

Do you ever jam out? When and with whom do you do it? Let me know in the comments below.
