If you are having trouble with jerga (slang) here is a link that defines some of the different slang or substandard words of various Spanish speaking countries

jergas de habla hispana

As Gus has mentioned, Simón is meant as an affirmative like (note accent on both) and apparently it is used this way by the Spanish speaking people from/of Mexico, Salvador, Guatemala and Ecuador.

Leave these old turkeys to decay in the boneyard.

Hmm, after giving this some thought I realized they are second cousins twice removed. - Malenor, NOV 4, 2009

"Simón" is short for the enthusiastic rhyming expression, "¡Simón, Ramón!" But you won´t usually hear the full expression used anymore.
