Judjamug

Created by: Guest

Pronunciation: Juh-Jah-Mugg

Sentence: Though quite a master of facial nuance, Jasmine could never fool Larry and his excellent judjamug abilities.

Etymology: From the common west-coast "Juh" uttered by transparent teenage girls between the ages of 13 and 15 who think they are actually being pertly clever, a derivation of the Jamaican word "Ganja" (causing a hightened sense of insight), and "Mug", a common slang term for a person's face.
