Jawn and motherfucker are probably the only 2 words I could consider to be general purpose nouns that can be used to refer to pretty much any person place or thing.
I feel like in the case of MF though, vulgarity is kind of the point, it’s meant to be insulting, whether seriously or playfully. Jawn doesn’t really have that same negative connotation, so it sort of falls short on that count.
And of course motherfucker has added utility as an adjective by swapping in the -ing suffix. You can have a motherfucking jawn, but you wouldn’t normally have a jawning motherfucker.

How is that pronounced? Like joun, like John, or like drawn but with a j?

Drawn but with a J I suppose.

Thank you! English gives us too many options sometimes.
