Jawn

Jawn /jôn/(n.) is a noun that is used in Philadelphia, PA (and the rest of the Delaware Valley) that is supposed to take the place of a person, place, thing, event, or idea/thought if you don't know the name of it - essentially, Jawn means noun.

The way to use it is when you don't know the name of someone, somewhere, something, or some thought, you say "jawn" in its place. It's similar to how you might use the word joint in New York (actually, that's kinda where jawn came from).

Ex. 1

Normal Sentence: I need to go to the store to buy some ground beef for the cookout down the street at James's house.

Philly Sentence: I need to go to the store to buy some of that ground Jawn for the Jawn down the street at James's house.

Ex. 2

Normal Sentence: You see the bad chick that just moved in?

Philly Sentence: You see that bad Jawn that just moved in?

Ex. 3

Normal Sentence: Did you see that WAWA got a new sandwich for sale?

Philly Sentence: Did you see the WAWA got a new Jawn for sale?

Ex. 4:

Normal sentence: I'm gonna miss this bus!

Philly Sentence: I'm gonna miss this Jawn!

Note: Jawn doesn't have to be capital.

Jawns

Any definitions of "Jawns" are in no sense improper, but where I come from it is used to refer to one of two different things: very openly sexual individuals, males or females. The other, and just as equally-used meaning is: large, and low-hanging breasts. It has intrinsic qualities of female nature, therefore, it is used as such, or in the form of an insult between males. The derision of this comes solely from the local influence, of SWIZZY's hit track "Gent & Jawns". Afterward, going on to see greater success, and revival from "Sun Man's" effectual influence on the term's meaning, and also popularity of SWIZZY's track through his "Rap & Rave" style. A post-mortem combination, of modern hip-hop, E.D.M. (Electronic Dance Music), as well as, (1990's-2015+) Metal Era(s), which lead to the widespread knowledge of the now highly-revered song, and each other, as artists.

"Sun Man: We got some jawns in this bit!!!"
"Where the jawns at, man? I'm looking to lay it down tonight!"
"Sun Man: Bring t jawns out, I'm only here to stunt, anyway!"
"Bro, I'm telling you, I never saw Sun Man the same, once I saw him go off to Gent & Jawns."
"Tell that jawn to get a job, and stop runnin' herself!"
"I swear Sun Man crazy, he was Slammin' to "Gent & Jawns " in a Dragon Ball Z hoodie staring directly into the sun!
"She a jawn for anything, or anyone, man. You don't need that in your life!"
"Slang: Your mans is do what? She's definitely a Jawn, boe. Dime a dozen in these southside ditches.
"Nice ride. Bass make her jawns jiggle? Ha. Roll dice on it."
"Jawns at dawn? In what sense of the term...?
