Jimmies in NY?

[Larissa H. Chen]

More data to corroborate known patterns...

An acquaintance of mine who grew up in the Trenton area only uses
"jimmies."  My husband, who grew up in northern/central NJ uses
"sprinkles" but is totally familiar with "jimmies."  I, who, grew
up in Yonkers, never heard "jimmies" before it was brought up on this
list.
