(also-did they SPELL "JUMOS" right in the book?)

8. Maybe "jamoke"... a term my mother often used to describe someone she thought was an idiot.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/jamoke

"by the 1920s it became slang for someone who lacked mental abilities beyond that of a cup of coffee"

[Ken Burch]

14. I remember hearing that one in old movies.

Combine it with the Spanish thing and maybe fits people in this meeting...though not necessarily the Russians.

10. In Caribbean Spanish

Juma or jumo are expressions for drunkenness. Comes from the verb "ahumar" and the noun "humo", which mean to smoke (as in food) and the noun smoke, respectively. For instance, to say "cogí una juma/un jumo" or "me ajumé" is simply to get very drunk...

11. So, what does that say for where we are as a civilization?

I really can't see what you're getting at. It seems to be slang, so "Urban Dictionary" is quite a good place to go. As it is, we don't seem to know, because we have no context to know which possible definition might fit.

[Ken Burch]

13. It was more the idea of MSNBC using Urban Dictionary as a reference.

Struck me as a strange juxtaposition is all.

A British equivalent might be BBC political analysts quoting "rhyming slang" to discuss Blair or Cameron.

12. Fuck, who watches Chuck Todd........
