You know you're from Jersey if....
Yeah baby! The 2nd season of Jersey Shore kicks off tonight! I can't wait! This season, all our favs...The Situation, Snooki, J Woww, Pauly D, Vinny, Ronnie & Sami are in Miami partying & trying to hookup! We took a quiz this morning during the show to see who was the most "Jersey" in the room...I won...born & bred baby! LOL! Dave, who lives in Jersey, but is from Maryland, had no idea that Taylor Ham = Pork Roll! Who doesn't know that? That's an easy one! HAHA!
Let's start our own list!
You know you're from Jersey if.....
....you know exactly what someone's talking about when they say, "What exit are you from?" (I'm from 8A by the way!)
...you can drive in a traffic circle...well!
...you know what a jughandle is!
C'mom, there's gotta be a ton more!
You know you're from Jersey if......
Game on!

Your a tan girl who looks like they rolled around in NachO Cheese Doritos
ReplyDeleteYou know that the only people who call it "Joisey" are from New York (usually The Bronx) or Texas.
ReplyDeleteYou don't think of citrus when people mention "The Oranges."
You know that it's called "Great Adventure," not "Six Flags."
You've ordered a hard roll with butter for breakfast.
You've eaten at a diner, when you were stoned or drunk, at 3 am.
Whenever you park, there's a Camaro within three spots of you.
At least three people in your family still love Bruce Springsteen, and you know what town Jon Bon Jovi is from.
You know that a WaWa is a convenience store.
You know that there are no "beaches" in new Jersey - there's "The Shore," and you know that the road to the shore is "The Parkway" not "The Garden State Highway."
You know that "Piney" isn't referring to a tree.
You know that "Acme" is an actual store, not just a Warner Bros creation.
You know that this is the only "New..." state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (like, try ...Mexico, ...York, ...Hampshire (doesn't work, does it?).
You know how to translate this conversation: "Jeet yet?" "No, Jew?"
You only go to New York City for day trips, and you only call it "The City."
In the 80's you wore your hair REALLY high.
You don't think "What exit" (do you live near?) is very funny.
You know that people from 609 area code are "a little different."
You know that no respectable New Jerseyan goes to Princeton - that's for out-of-staters.
You live within 20 minutes of at least three different malls.
You refer to all highways and interstates by their numbers.
Every year, you had at least one kid in your class named Tony.
You know where every "clip" shown in the Sopranos opening credits is.
You've eaten a Boardwalk cheesesteak with vinegar fries.
You have a favorite Atlantic City casino.
You've never pumped your own gas.
You can sit in the car while getting gas.
ReplyDelete... you don't pump your own gas.
ReplyDeleteI disagree slightly with anonymous because people from south Jersey (and other states) call Great Adventure "Six Flags," and people from south Jersey (and other states) also call the beach "the shore." People from central Jersey (like me) always called the beach "the beach" and Great Adventure "Great Adventure." Seaside was Seaside, Atlantic City was Atlantic City, and the beach was Belmar, Bradley Beach, Ocean Grove, etc.
ReplyDeleteWe also grew up calling subs "subs," not hoagies-that's another south Jersey thing.
There is a definite difference between north Jersey and south Jersey, but I guess also central Jersey-where both Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi are from :)
