Thingymijawn:

Noun

Pronunciation: Thing-ee-meh-jahwn

An expansion of the word « jawn », originating from the Philadelphia Pennsylvania Area. Similarly to « jawn », it ‘s usage is to describe virtually any object, although in this case it is more limited to inanimate objects and events. Especially wonderful if you have temporarily blanked on the name of said object/event, you don’t feel like saying the name, or you are saying it to be ironic. When used in conjugation with the word itself it intends to refer to, this indicates it is being used ironically to make oneself seem less intelligent than they are in fact, but their intelligence is obvious still to the onlooker as they have recalled the name of said item/event, yet chose to use a second word in conjugation to denote that this particular thing/event is not very pressing/serious.

*Note, « thingy » may be swapped out in place with said word it is referring to. « Thingymijawn » becomes « pizzamijawn ».
« Yo grab me that thingymijawn. « pizza*
« Yo you going to that festival thingymijawn?*
« Yo grab me them cheetomijawns.

Should NOT be used in context such as:

« Yo u going to that funeral thingymijawn? »
*this denotes lack of sympathy and/or amusement surrounding death… but then again if your into that and so’s the people your with then go ahead……. or find new company. Your choice tho. This author doesn’t judge man.
