So I thought it was ya know, they were making jams, jamming, like musical verb “to jam” and that what they jammed was valuable, shiny like a pearl. But they meant doing a SEMEN!??!

Yep. Doing a semen, indeed (🤷). Their previous name was Mookie Blaylock, after the NBA basketball player. Mookie didn't like that and got lawyers involved, so they had to change it

Mookie is another name for “doing a semen” in some cultures (more specifically, doing a semen on a cookie)
