Remember Jem, from the days of Barbie and the Rockers? She was her kinda generic, bigger counterpart that never fit in my barbie cars, who was also a "rocker". Well I had her. I think I got it for a birthday present or something...but that's not the point. My sister and I played with her with our barbies, but we made her like a giant who was completely weird. -Yes we had very active imaginations...
I can still here her theme song for her cartoon
"Jem, Jem Truly Outrageous Jem!"
Anyways, my new word Gem, came to me this morning as my mother told me that so & so called. I said, with out thinking of course, "oh isn't SHE a Gem, cause she's truly outrageous" pulled from the vast resources of my excellent memory where I store all of my childhood facts and figures that I believe I will somehow use again...one day... 
My new word -Gem- goes on my vast list of words, I and those few select people who "get me", use to refer to people so they don't know we talking about them.
File that one in the dictionary of Genna's Linguistics, known for its ohhh sooo subtle mix of real and made up words that can be used to refer to just about any person from any & all walks of life. I pride myself on that. :)
