Shamone comes from the Michael Jackson song " Bad" released in 1987. It is a distinctive deliberate mispronunciation of "come on" used frequently by Jackson, occasionally spelt "cha'mone", "jamone" or more commonly "shamone". Today shamone can be used pretty much the same way " word" is commonly used.
"Come on, man, we're going to the bar. I said, SHAMONE!"
"Ok, I'm coming."
