a drunk, someone who drinks too much (but not necessarily a terrible person). Frequently used by Ernest Hemingway in his novels, Hemingway was a “rummy” himself to an extent, however Hemingway tried to wait until the afternoon until he started drinking, as he felt drinking interrupted his writing.
“It would be pretty easy to be a rummy, wouldn’t it Eddy?”

Get the Rummy mug.
This is my third, Sheryl Crow's, "Soak Up The Sun" joke. If she gets "A Rummy Job" from Goliath Games, as a Rumi K, dealer, this means, she hates this game! My joke, on the lyric: "I've got a crummy job!"
Sheryl Crow, complains Goliath Games, has given her, "A Rummy Job" when she wanted, to be a poker dealer, instead! A joke!
