What does it mean to "jailbreak" a fore stick? null

The so called jailbreak is nothing more that opening up the developer options and allowing non Amazon programs to be downloaded to the fire stick. This can be accomplished by going to the settings tab, Step 1 – Go to the home screen of your Firestick by clicking the home button on remote. Step 2 – Hover over the Settings menu item. Step 3 – Click Applications icon. Step 4 – Click Collect App Usage Data – you will not see this option on older Fire TV models so skip this step if that is the case. Step 5 – Click Turn Off button. Step 6 – Click back button, return to the previous screen and click the Device icon. Step 7 – Click Developer Options. Step 8 – Click Apps from Unknown Sources. Step 9 – Click Turn On button. You can now download applications that aren’t available within the Amazon App Store and open up a whole new world of entertainment. . .

‘Hack’ but voids warranty! Google hacking a Fire Stick... plenty of articles/videos.

it means to side load apps that is not available on the amazon app

To add apps not associated with the Google play app store. There are apps that you can use to allow you to watch movies and live TV for free

There is no such thing as "jailbreaking" a firestick. There are apps you can load onto it that allow you to do... things... YouTube is full of them and it looks pretty easy if you want to load them up.
