A Philly News Station Wonders, 'What Is Jawn?'
Latest
Philadelphia’s CBS 3 investigated the origins of the term “jawn” in a super educational segment that aired on Monday night.
This interesting analysis of “jawn” was part of the station’s nightly series, “Good Questions,” hosted by local anchor Nicole Brewer. The question of the night this time: “What is jawn?”
Good question. Before querying the people of Philly about “jawn,” Brewer immediately qualifies the report by stating, “If you’re from Philly, especially born and raised, you probably know the answer, right? But maybe you’re wondering how it got started.”
