Noun

jimmies pl (plural only)

(plural only, dialectal, US, especially New England and Philadelphia) Chocolate sprinkles used as a topping for ice cream, cookies, or cupcakes.
- 2009, Robert B. Parker, The Professional, Berkley Books, published 2010, →ISBN, page 232:
  “What kind of sissy eats strawberry-frosted donuts?” I said. ¶ “With jimmies,” Belson said. ¶ “I had too much respect for you,” I said, “even to mention the jimmies.”
- 2017 September 22, Suzanne Loudermilk, “Dining review: At Giovanni's, hearty Italian fare and an old-fashioned feel”, in The Baltimore Sun‎:
  The crispy pastry tube was overflowing with sweetened, whipped ricotta and dotted with chocolate jimmies.

Usage notes

Because of their brown color, the apparently false etymology of jimmies having been named after Jim Crow has led some to consider the use of the term jimmies to refer to chocolate sprinkles to be offensive. However, many people who are either unaware of this theory or know it to be false do not consider this an offensive term.
