Depending on your geography, jimmies is either old-hat or it makes no sense. As a young’n growing up on the (not so) mean streets of Pittsburgh, I was exposed to a lot of Pittsburgeese including slippy and redd up. For me, jimmies represents a way of life and for that matter ordering dessert. South of PA, my requests are met with jeers and guffaws, but I gets no static at ice cream parlors throughout the Northeast.
jim·my [jim-ee] noun, plural -mies
-noun
1. The delicious little sprinkle things you get on ice cream, cupcakes, and donuts - usually rainbow or chocolate colored. Best enjoyed at Rita’s or Dave and Andy’s: Yo, make sure you put some rainbow jimmies on my wafflecone! I need my jimmies!
