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.

Them (dem)

Jamaican dialect

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