(3,181 posts)Juma or jumo are expressions for drunkenness. Comes from the verb "ahumar" and the noun "humo", which mean to smoke (as in food) and the noun smoke, respectively. For instance, to say "cogí una juma/un jumo" or "me ajumé" is simply to get very drunk...

(101,412 posts)I really can't see what you're getting at. It seems to be slang, so "Urban Dictionary" is quite a good place to go. As it is, we don't seem to know, because we have no context to know which possible definition might fit.

A British equivalent might be BBC political analysts quoting "rhyming slang" to discuss Blair or Cameron.
