Akwasi AJ: “The jun for junky makes sense but The Akans also have ‘dwon’. If an Akan tells you that you walk ‘dwon dwon’ it means you walk foolishly or like a lunatic. Another variant of it is ‘dwobii’ which is usually used to describe a stupid or foolish-like face.”
Kofi B: “It’s junkie and we kumasi folks shorten it to Jon.”
Shattawale dick_big: “Is not Jon but rather Jun (junkie) so is an American slang word for drug addicted or useless”
Baffy: “Came from Junky- Jun”
Big Mode: “Kumasi people”
