jammy

Undeservedly getting wins

Jammy is British slang for lucky, especially in a way that seems undeserved: You jammy bastard, you won again.

The word suggests fortune came too easily—someone who lands a good job without trying or wins at cards repeatedly might be called jammy.

Less commonly, jammy means covered with or resembling jam: jammy fingers.
