JEMMIES Meaning and
Definition
-
Jemmies, also known as jimmies, is a noun that refers to a tool commonly used in burglary or illegal entry, characterized by a slender, flat, and rigid blade, usually made of metal. It is primarily used for prying open or forcing open locked doors, windows, or other barriers. The tool typically has a sharp end on one side for sliding in between a door or window frame and the lock, enabling the user to apply leverage and force to dislodge the lock mechanism.
Jemmies can often be associated with criminal activities due to their purpose and application in unauthorized entries. They are frequently utilized by burglars, thieves, or individuals engaged in illicit activities. Due to their effectiveness in breaking into secured areas, they can be deemed illegal and possessing them without a legitimate reason may be considered a criminal offense in certain jurisdictions.
As a tool, jemmies can vary in size and design. They are generally simple and compact, allowing for ease of concealment when used for illicit purposes. The name "jemmies" or "jimmies" is derived from the verb "to jemmy," which means to force or pry open using this tool.
It is important to note that while jemmies have particular negative connotations due to their association with criminal activities, there are legitimate uses for such tools in certain professions or situations, such as lock picking or emergency entry by authorized individuals such as locksmiths or law enforcement officers. However, their possession and use outside of these authorized situations may be unlawful.

Etymology of JEMMIES
The term "jemmies" has various etymological theories, but it is primarily believed to have originated as a slang term in the United States. Some sources suggest that it derived from the name of a person who was known for their skill in burglary or safecracking, while others propose that it was derived from the Irish word "seimhíns", meaning "latches" or "small mechanical contrivances". Another theory suggests that it evolved from the term "jimmy", which referred to a type of crowbar commonly used in breaking open locks or prying doors.
