Get the Jawnmug. Jawn /jôn/(n.) is a noun that is used in Philadelphia, PA (and the rest of the Delaware Valley) that is supposed to take the place of a person, place, thing, event, or idea/thought if you don't know the name of it - essentially, Jawn means noun.
The way to use it is when you don't know the name of someone, somewhere, something, or some thought, you say "jawn" in its place. It's similar to how you might use the word joint in New York (actually, that's kinda where jawn came from).

Get the Jawnmug. Jawn can be a word for anything you dont feel like namin, or need but forget the name for, but you call it "jawn" to explain it to your friends as you speak with your hands, signaling what Jawn is, or changing the tone of your voice to signify "jawn".
It's like we speak with vibes, just expecting the person to understand us already.

" yo can you pass me that jawn while I take this jawn?" He said to his classmate.
His classmate picked up a pencil, gave his friend the pencil. Nodded. And they both took their English test.
"Yo this jawn be crazy and that jawn be pointed that way" the boy said as he explained his feelings for the earth and how the star was pointed. As he looked st the picture on the whiteboard on physics class.

Get the Jawned Upmug. Any definitions of "Jawns" are in no sense improper, but where I come from it is used to refer to one of two different things: very openly sexual individuals, males or females. The other, and just as equally-used meaning is: large, and low-hanging breasts. It has intrinsic qualities of female nature, therefore, it is used as such, or in the form of an insult between males. The derision of this comes solely from the local influence, of SWIZZY's hit track "Gent & Jawns". Afterward, going on to see greater success, and revival from "Sun Man's" effectual influence on the term's meaning, and also popularity of SWIZZY's track through his "Rap & Rave" style. A post-mortem combination, of modern hip-hop, E.D.M. (Electronic Dance Music), as well as, (1990's-2015+) Metal Era(s), which lead to the widespread knowledge of the now highly-revered song, and each other, as artists.
Man, that's a jawn if I ever saw one!"
"Sun Man: We got some jawns in this bit!!!"
"Where the jawns at, man? I'm looking to lay it down tonight!"
"Sun Man: Bring t jawns out, I'm only here to stunt, anyway!"
"Bro, I'm telling you, I never saw Sun Man the same, once I saw him go off to Gent & Jawns."
"Tell that jawn to get a job, and stop runnin' herself!"
"I swear Sun Man crazy, he was Slammin' to "Gent & Jawns " in a Dragon Ball Z hoodie staring directly into the sun!
"She a jawn for anything, or anyone, man. You don't need that in your life!"
"Slang: Your mans is do what? She's definitely a Jawn, boe. Dime a dozen in these southside ditches.
"Nice ride. Bass make her jawns jiggle? Ha. Roll dice on it."
"Jawns at dawn? In what sense of the term...?
