/Sounds like "HEHR" (as in "help") + "moo" (as in "moon")/

Meaning

Woman or girl. "Jermu" is Venezuelan slang created by reversing the syllables of "mujer" (mu-jer becomes jer-mu), a technique similar to Argentine lunfardo. This kind of syllable-flipping slang is especially common among young people in Venezuelan neighborhoods.

Examples

Is that girl your girlfriend or just a friend?

A really cool woman showed up at last night's get-together.

A fine, persistent drizzle typical of Lima that isn't quite rain but still gets you wet. It defines Lima's gloomy winter weather, not dramatic enough for an umbrella but annoying enough to ruin your hair.
