For example, someone might describe someone that tells tall tales and engages in ridiculous activities as a "complete Joam". In sentence form, it might be used like, "That guy is a complete JOAM". JOAM can also be used as an adjective to describe something (such as a location or item) if it is to be of 'JOAM status'. For example, the Home Depot might be rebranded as the "JOAM Depot".
