British slang for pajamas, shaped by the informal habit of compressing or phonetically reshaping everyday words. Used casually in the UK, typically by children or in family settings, though adults use it without self-consciousness. It sits in the same register as 'jimjams' -- relaxed, slightly silly, and entirely domestic. You would not use it in formal writing, but you would hear it on a quiet Sunday morning without batting an eye.
She padded downstairs still in her jarmas, hair everywhere, demanding toast.
