"Jimmy" is a term often used as a substitute for the N-word, allowing people to retain the comedic or emphatic tone of a statement without its offensive or harmful connotation. The term gained popularity from Mario Judah's song Die Very Rough, where a TikTok parody in 2021 highlighted the lyric: "I'm a big dog, big bear, Jimmy, I'm a lion." This playful reinterpretation turned "Jimmy" into a cultural placeholder with a lighter, less controversial meaning.
