Jimmy is a less formal form of the name James. Other forms are "Jim" or sometimes "Jimbo".

Jymy can also mean sound like long-distance thunder, explosion etc - low frequency is the key.

Now your turn - explain "Jimmy"

Driver door on a delivery van, perhaps? "Don't hold me up, I have nothing for you?"

I do know THAT . . . was expecting something more exiting

My boss in MN was James Berns - Jim for us - "That SOaB" to his father Howard - Howie

Jim's mother was Francis - so one day Howie again was cursing Jim to lowest corner of Hell and used the expression "That God Damned Son Of A Bitch" - I heard myself uttering ( notice - I did NOT say it - it simply slipped out my mouth ) "Howie - does this mean Francis is a bitch?"

Plenty yelling for next few minutes - but Howie was good man and liked me - so he cooled down quickly

O I see. "Jimmy" means to pry something open, i.e., , to force something open. I will admit, this is not really that exciting either .

Not a huge fan of Domino's, but that's a little sad.

I misread it at first in the way obviously intended. Thought to myself that’s a very efficient symbiotic relationship.

I simply will not buy soup that talks down to me.

Wasn't there a tv show that featured a condescending soup vendor? I don't watch a lot of tv, so I'm taking other people's word for it.
