What does “jont” mean

A fill-in-the-blank noun used across Washington, DC for nearly anything: 'that jont,' 'this jont right here,' plural 'jonx.' A regional cousin of Philadelphia's 'jawn,' with which it shares an etymology, but pronounced and used distinctively in the DMV's go-go and hip-hop culture.
