# It could be a rhetorical Jim, like in Werewolves of London
where the lyrics go 'you'd better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out, Jim', or Sweet Jane with 'Riding in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim'. I don't think those lines are actually addressed to any real Jims at all.

# exactly.
like -- 'For fuck sake, Jim - I'm a lesbian not a prize-fighter!'

I could be wrong

# Or in that song, 'Star Trekkin' by The Firm
where they repeat that "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it"

I mean the original line in Star Trek was addressing a fictional character called Jim but this is one level of abstraction away from that.
