When you yourself are stuck between two people that want you (be it sexually, emotionally, for a relationship, or simply due to territorial instinct), and consequently hate each other.
Dude: "Oh, man... is that Karen??"
Bro: "Woops... yea... she totally just saw me with Steph!"
Steph: "Who's Karen???"
Dude: "Wow... well, I hope you enjoy your peanut butter and jealousy sandwich."

It is a phrase used in the pick up community refering to a series of events which induce jealousy in woman, mostly directed at the 'target' of the 'pick up', which usually happens to be the most attractive woman in the group.
The jealousy plotline,plotline, plotlineexplained
Man(talking to two women of, 1 of them is more attractive thus she is the 'target)',we name her girl A, girl B is her less attractive friend):
Hey, you know what ?! I bet you're a terrible hugger!To girl B Proceeds to hug girl B.
Girl A observes and gets jealous thus her emotional state changes from neutral to hightened attraction due to the jealousy created by the lack of attention given to her. Her friend girl B is getting the attention she craves, so she becomes jealous.

People tend to use jealousy to reduce other people's motivations to a single point. It's not something I deal with. I don't really care if people have more than me. OTHER PEOPLE, on the other hand, care a great deal if others have more than me. They tent to care more about how little I have than I do. I live a humble life. I don't like spending money. I don't like needing money but I'm thirsty and hungry and bored all of the time so I don't really have a choice. And that's kind of the point of all this. It's the implication that I have something to be jealous about. So and so made a million dollars acting in a movie I consider objectively bad. So and so sang a song that I find annoying and not they are on my phone and in my head. So and so sleeps with all of the woman they interact with. I don't think these are things to be jealous about but if I am in a disagreement with someone they will weaponize my lack things against me. The world tends to reward competence just as much as is does ineptitude. The inverse can also be true. I don't care what people have. I just want them to make my life less difficult. I don't think success justifies itself. I don't think people deserve the things they have just because they managed to aquire said things in a way that I could not.

Jealousy. We’ve all experienced it. Jealousy can be defined as the vigilant maintaining or guarding of something. Jealousy has a bad rap but it’s normal to want to guard the people we love, especially when we see a potential rival cozying up to our significant other. But there’s a difference between feeling jealous and exhibiting unhealthy jealous behaviors.
Dangerous jealousy these people going to kill me.
Jealousy doesn’t become a problem until it’s acted on. People that are prone to intense jealousy or possessiveness often harbor feelings of inadequacy or inferiority and have a tendency to compare themselves to others. Jealousy, at its core, is a byproduct of fear, fear of not being good enough, fear of loss. When it hits, it can trick us into believing our relationship is in immediate danger, making it impossible to distinguish between natural feelings of protectiveness and irrational suspicion.
