I'm a bit confused about the difference between a clog and a jam. Can you help?

A clog is when something stops up a pipe or drain, while a jam is when something gets stuck in a pipe or drain but doesn't completely block it. Clogs can be caused by debris, food scraps, grease, hair, etc., while jams are usually caused by things like soap scum, toilet paper, or toothpaste.
