The concept of a diner
We eat here at least three to four times a week and you can find us here at any time of the day …literally. The food you eat at these diners is probably some of the best food you will ever taste in your entire life. You're welcome.
Dunkin Donuts
There is NO such thing as Starbucks. In the wise words of Dunkin Donuts, “Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks." ENOUGH said.
The concept of a deli
Just like diners, Deli's are planted all up and down New Jersey and it's where we buy all of our school lunches, where we buy our bagels by the dozen, and our cream cheese by the pound.
The love for our pizza
The words “This is the best pizza I've ever tasted" should never come out of your mouth unless you've tasted our pizza. Also, plain pizza is in reference to cheese.
The sweatpants and Uggs outfit
Nowhere else in the country will you find this outfit worn by so many people on a daily basis.
The mall
To anyone else, the mall isn't really that important. To us over here, it's where we grew up. It's where our first boyfriends took us to the movies and held our hands for the first time. It's where we had our first kisses. It's where we bought all of our Hollister and Abercrombie t-shirts that we thought we were so cool wearing in the 6th grade. It's really our way of life.
Monogram necklaces
It's a trendy look and goes well with every outfit no matter what. It's also a statement piece that reads, “I'm from Jersey."
Our state name
It's just Jersey. That's it.
The cold
No one understands the concept of cold until they have been to Jersey.
The shore
During the summer, we don't go to the beach, we go to the shore.
When someone asks for a “diet" while at a restaurant
We're referring to a diet coke.
Your lack of gas pumping skills
We get very confused on how to pump our own gas and we make complete fools of ourselves every time we evidently stop somewhere that doesn't have a gas station attendant.
Breakfast sandwiches
Taylor Ham, bacon, egg and cheese, salt, pepper, ketchup on a roll, please!
Six Flags
You have been here more times than you can even count.
North, Central, and South Jersey
You know that these are like three different continents and three different worlds. We never associate ourselves with any other part of Jersey than with our fellow northerners.
“The City"
When we say we're going to the city, we mean New York City.
When someone asks you where you live
A totally acceptable answer to give someone would be “Off of exit 163."
Our homes
Jersey is home to some of the biggest mansions you will ever see in your entire life.
Area codes
We refer to being back home by using our area codes to define our towns. “Back in the 201" as I always say!
Wawa
No one will ever understand the true glory of Wawa. The BEST rest stop you will ever visit.
Speed limits
When you see "55," it really means you are going to go 75 on the parkway.
Stop lights
Green means go, yellow means go even faster, and red means ahh crap, I guess I'll stop.
You can definitely say one thing, we will always be reppin' our New Jersey Pride.
