A word used when imitating an Irish-Catholic school teacher priest dude. If you pronounce it as "day-mon" with a faked Irish accent while talking really loudly, it works pretty well.
Possible uses:

Out, daemon child!!
Daemon be gone, Satan has no presence here!!

In short, they are your soul. The spelling is taken from the His Dark Materials books. The concept in the books was taken from Aristotle's concept of a daimon who was his spiritual guide.
A daemon in our world is incorporeal, more of a voice in your head. When people visualize them, they are usually animals. They can shapeshift to almost anything. Eventually they will settle as an animal that reflects your personality and character the best.

If you have a Daemon in your life you are extremely lucky. Daemon is usually a males name. He is kind and caring but it takes him a while to open up to you. once he starts opening up to you, you know he trusts you. He's impatient and determined. Once he gets his mind set on something you will have a hard time changing it. He does stupid stuff but he tries not to. Daemon is usually one to get all the ladies but when he is taken he stays loyal. He tends to hide his pain but when he shows it, its almost to late. He can scare you with some of his actions but he doesn't mean to. He tends to pouts if you don't give him attention.
pretty much someone you can trust your life with.
