Whats a "stuck sparge"? i am also new to AG but sparging seemed to go smoothly

Stuck sparge is when the false bottom or grain separation device becomes hopelessly clogged either by grain, adjunct (wheat or oats for example) or additive (pumpkin!) which then drives the homebrewer up the proverbial wall because he/she cannot drain the mashtun of precious wort preventing the boil preventing beer from being made thus forcing the homebrewer to become enraged and smash a hydrometer or other smashable object
