AH! Maybe it is "gemmies." I'll ask the perpetrator of this to find out if he knows the spelling. (He is actually from Connecticut - I think in VA it's still "sprinkles.")
As a bona fide Northerner (though not, I'm told, a "Yankee"), let me assure you that I've never heard anything as asinine as "little jimmies" - at least with respect to sprinkles - in my life.
in england they're called "hundreds and thousands". to prevent further confusion, i suggest this be the standard name replacing "sprinkles", and "little jimmies/gemmies". jimmie being rhyming slang for a piss (jimmy riddle, a piddle).
if you don't like it, you know what the second amendment was made for...
I'm from Massachusetts -- indeed they are called "jimmies" if you get them on a sundae from Friendly's, but at other stores, they're still "sprinkles." Also, if I remember correctly, only the chocolate ones are referred to as "jimmies," while the colorful ones are "sprinkles."

I have never heard of such.
Could it maybe be 'gemmies' as in gem stones?!
That kind of shit doesn't happen in Kansas, I can tell you that!

baffling. Who knew there were so many different references (and so technical, too) to such a useless creation? Thanks for enlightening us once again.
