Slimmaz

noun SLIM-maz ˈslɪmaz

Also spelled slimmers, slimma

A slim, slender person — or a term of admiration for a slim, shapely woman, as celebrated in dancehall (alongside the 'mampy' and 'fluffy' who are full-figured). 'Slimmaz' plays affectionately on 'slim', and both slim and full figures are praised in the music.

  • Di slimmaz dem an di mampy dem all a wine.

    The slim ones and the full-figured ones are all dancing.

  • She a real slimmaz, tall an slender.

    She's really slim, tall and slender.

  • Big up di slimmaz an di fluffy alike.

    Salute to the slim and the full-figured alike.

From 'slim' plus the '-az' ending; dancehall term for a slim woman, paired against 'mampy'/'fluffy'.

A slim/slender person, esp. a woman (admiring). Compare 'mampy', 'fluffy' (full-figured), 'maaga'.
