patricia Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 (edited) And now for another round of the exciting game show, "EXPOSE YOUR IGNORANCE!" Today's contestant wants to know, what the hell is a "jim-jim"...Jim? Apparently Reed's use of "jim-jim" in his lyric was a Greek reference [Plato specifically] in which the term is used to denote a phoney or a poseur.

7/4 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 You joke, but I have heard it on a jukebox, in NYC recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
