Cách sử dụng
"Jam tomorrow" is an expression that means promising something good in the future. It comes from the book "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll where the character, the White Queen, promises Alice that she will give her "jam tomorrow" as a reward. However, "jam tomorrow" never comes because it's just an excuse to delay giving a reward. So, the expression "jam tomorrow" is used to describe a situation where someone promises something good in the future, but it's unsure if it will actually happen or if they are just trying to delay it. For example, if your boss promises you a promotion "sometime in the future," you might feel like it's just jam tomorrow because you're not sure if it's actually going to happen.
