Jimmer

Proper noun. (North Wisconsin and Yooper) alternative form of James, usually a diminutive, but is also occasionally a given name. An odd quality of this name is that it can often take a definite article the (''da'' in yooper dialects,) unlike most english names, I.E. Instead of "Go Tell Jimmer to mow the lawn," "Go Tell ''the (da) Jimmer'' to mow the lawn.".
