GIMME SUM is a take off of a Chinese dinner called dim sum. Dim Sum is a Cantonese phrase (??), literally "touch the heart" but meaning "morsel/snack". It may be derived from yat dim sum yi, meaning a "a little token". Though the English word "dim sum" refers to the Cantonese variety, the idea of a wide variety of small dishes for lunch also holds for other regions of China. You can impress Sweet Shirley with this the next time you go there.
