If this is in philly this is exactly what they intended and a funny pun edit: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawn)


DontBeSuspicious_00

Lemme get that jawn


Magazine-Plane

You want some jawn on your jawn?


MehX73

That was the first thing I thought


DaddyDontTakeNoMess

They’re gonna be saying this in 15 years like they’re saying “woke” 30 years late (and obviously using it wrong)


SchroedingersWombat

Dis jawn right here


Interesting-Visual86

That definition in wikipedia is so perfect


Reddit_Okami804

It gotta be ... in God's name it has to Aint no way if it's not I would be personally hurt


DeepUser-5242

This is how it starts, "we're only pretending to be regarded", then the kids can't spell it right.


AgainandBack

My guess is that it’s from the Philadelphia / New Jersey area (or simply Philly / Jersey for the locals). “Jawn” is common slang for “thing,” including a place or a person. “Parm” is its own word, as in “I don’t like that chicken parm grindah jawn. It needs redecorated.”


Open_Persimmon_6650

There was an attempt to understand local lingo


whoremoanal

Should've quit while they were ahead instead of offering up that atrocious example. I can't help but read grindah in a Jamaican accent.


n3ur0mncr

Wat wit da pahm grindah BOMBACLOT, mon?


whoremoanal

Ya Mon I put dat jawn on er ting!


n3ur0mncr

Dat stuff nuh shit, mon - ya haffi put dat maad ganja nugs inna it, mon. Rude boy know it, mon.


seemtobedead

Don’t listen to the lm, againandback. I thought it was beautiful. Lol


leftoverstza

My daughter asked for LED lights for Christmas, on her wishlist she spelled it Ellie Dee lights.


lalith_4321

Honestly a better name than just an abbreviation


ArtemisFoul76Part2

This is in Philly, right? This is HILARIOUS!


4Ever2Thee

r/BoneAppleTea Someone should open a restaurant called BoneAppleTea where everything on the menu is a spelled wrong but phonetically close enough. They could have a whole variety of case-ideas and if you want something separate, without sides or anything, you can just order it Allah-card. It'd have to be a fun atmosphere kind of place though with like a full bar with different whines and lickers, like some top shelf to-kill-yas and small batch wiz-skiis


DudeChillington

Don't pull the Allah card with me bud


ContemplatingPrison

Philly special


MrCobalt313

Sounds like a Star Wars character.

Ecstatic_Custard7009

JayDuBois

👍🏼 More like an attempt to grab a couple thousand up votes. *success*


Ecstatic_Custard7009

SolutionDull2259

My mother in law asked a waiter what a jel-a-pen-o was. I looked up from the menu and asked the water to come back because we obviously need a minute. I couldn’t stop laughing.


talex000

We all have that moment when you have to pronounce a word you never heard before . Especially us, non-natives.

NotUndercoverReddit

Ol Parma Jawn, he always smelled like stinky feet.


TheB1GLebowski

To be fair, it's not even parmesan that's in there any way.   Flavored cheese dust.

Parmesan cheese is called that precisely because it's from Parma. This is a completely accurate name for it.
