Doorjamb 

A door jamb is the vertical portion of the frame onto which a door is secured. Most types of door fasteners and deadbolts extend into a recess in the door jamb when engaged, making the strength of the door jambs vitally important to the overall security of the door.

In closets, it is possible to incorporate an electrical trigger in or on the jamb, controlling a light fixture in the closet so it turns on when the door is open, similar to the device found in a refrigerator.

The word "jamb" comes from the French "jambe", meaning "leg".

I was crouched by the doorjamb, gun straight out, scanning the room.

Doorjamming 

The act of placing your dick in a doorjam and slamming the door repeatedly on it for sexual pleasure. Quite the invigorating experience.

Guy 1: Dude, last night I tried something new instead of masturbating
Guy 2: Congrats, you finally got laid.
Guy 1: No, I did some doorjamming.
Guy 2: Didn't that shit hurt?
Guy 1: Kinda... and my dick looks like pulled pork now... otherwise it was great!

Doorjam 

An alternate name for the cupholder below your car's door handle, specifically the one in the front seat. Combination of "door" and "jam" because nothing fucking fits in them.

Ron: "Hey Billy, why are you holding your water bottle on your lap?"
Billy: "Because the doorjam is too bloody small to fit it."
