Them (dem)

Jamaican dialect

Used as a susbtitute for the subject pronoun (non-standard) or the Demonstrative pronoun those.

Much like the object pronoun me replaces "I" informally.

It used as a plural marker in some cases but, not always and is used most times when it's replaceable with the subject pronoun they.

Eg.

Me speak whole heap of languages them. (Incorrect)

Me speak whole heap of languages. (Only correct version).

The tires them (dem) in the shed outta front. (Correct non-standard)
The tires, they're in the shed out front. (Correct standard)

Wash me clothes them (dem) (short reply exception)
Them (dem) love jerk chicken you see. (Patois)

They love jerk chicken, you see. (Standard J'can)

The cows (them) dem over deh need feeding. (Not Patois pluralisation)

'Em cows over there need feeding. (Ebonics)

The cows, they're over there. They need feeding. (Standard J'Can)

The mother them (dem) who not coming lemme know. (Patois pluralisation the mothers, those who aren't coming let me know )

Can you believe it took military tribunals to show the "dems" the truth? I mean the democrats didn't even try to hide it.

Just found out my sister was a "dem", I really need to get her out of politics.

Did you hear about the massive footprint the "dems" have under their control? It's pretty scary.

dem doo

a marginally slow, sloth-like creature, usually found in their parent's basement playing video games, pissing and shitting in a bucket, and living amongst their own excrement. Fat, greasy, neckbeard-ish, degenerate delinquents.
Look at these dem doos. Just seeing them is absolutely vile and disgustingly vile experience. They are such dead-weight losses to their families and society at large.
