A misspelling of the word "Pokémon" that is common among older North American adults that did not grow up with
video games, anime, and Japanese
electronics.
Also a meme popularized by a picture of one cat holding a
Game Boy Advance with a game slotted in, and telling another cat to "let me show you my pokemans".
<gnuwtey> Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, GETTO daze!
<nimda21> Hey, is
that the new Pokeman game that came out?
<gnuwtey> It's "Pokemon",
you know.
<nimda21> Hmm.
<gnuwtey> What's your ASL, anyway?
<nimda21> 47/m/Ohio. Why? What's yours?
