Sprinkles or Jimmies? Is There a Difference?

[Deleted]

And I've never heard "hundreds of thousands."

It's a British-ism.

It's a British-ism.

That explains a lot.

[Herecius]

Sprinkles, yo. Jimmies are a thing that get all rustled when I see a sensationalized headline. I've actually never heard the term used to refer to a condom before, other term for condom I always had was a rubber.

[Donald Hellscream]

in Denmark we call it 'Krymmel' which translated to english is sprinkles so I guess we call them sprinkles in our own wierd native tongue.

Next time you see a cake with sprinkles you want, ask for "the hundreds and thousands cake" and just watch a wave of confusion wash over the store clerk.

[LilSaihah]

I'm fairly certain that jimmies are things that get rustled

and you use sprinkles to make fairy bread

[Lollis]

If they are multiple colours they are hundreds and thousands, if they are one colour (usually one flavour) they are X sprinkles.

A jimmy is a piss. You go for a jimmy (a piss).

[Kaleredar]

I'll take Numbuh Five's authority on this and go with Sprinkles.


Jimmies just sounds weird as hell. Though, to be honest, if I were tasked with making up fake super-british sounding words for mundane things, "jimmies" is probably one I'd come up with.

Contender for weirdest name: tutti frutti sprinkles.

Still doesn't beat out the likes of "bangers and mash" for me.

[Rixis]

What about "toad in the hole"

[Temp name]

Never even heard of jimmies until, like.. 30 seconds ago when I read the thread title.

[LegendaryDude]

whether you call them jimmies or sprinkles i think they don't belong on ice cream
they taste awful

This so much. There are only 3 things that belong on your ice cream: Chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and, i don't know what they're called in english, "Krokant". Crushed, hardened almonds.

Here in germany, they are called "Streusel", wich comes from "streuen", wich is the german word for sprinkle

God I hope not

[Feel The Power]

I've never even heard the term Jimmies, and I live in the US.

You probably don't have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(food) either?

Exactly the same difference as soda and pop.

None, except everybody says one and thinks everyone else is weird for saying the other.
