Jawn

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).

Normal Sentence: I need to go to the store to buy some ground beef for the cookout down the street at James's house.
