"Jimmies" pulls double duty in American slang. In its sweet, regional sense, it's the word for those tiny rod-shaped candy sprinkles you scatter on ice cream sundaes — especially in New England and the Mid-Atlantic. But the internet gave it a whole second life through the "rustled jimmies" meme: your jimmies are your feelings or composure, and when someone rustles them, they've gotten under your skin. Both uses co-exist in perfect harmony, one delicious and one salty.
Nothing rustles my jimmies more than people who talk in the cinema.
