patricia Posted March 9, 2004 Report 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. Edited March 9, 2004 by patricia Quote
ghost of miles Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 "I'm Waiting for the Man" also has a good verse related to the subject at hand: Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time Quote

7/4 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 You joke, but I have heard it on a jukebox, in NYC recently. Quote
BruceH Posted March 11, 2004 Report Posted March 11, 2004 Sweet. One of those "Only in NYC" things, I guess. Quote
