Someone passed around an e-mail at the office called "You know you're from New Jersey if," with all the references to guys named Tony, big hair, and Bon Jovi, so I thought we could compile a list of South Jersey stuff. Here are a few I thought of...

You give people a dirty look when they call pork roll "taylor ham"

You drink "wooder"

If someone asks you for a lager you hand them a Yuengling

You know what a sneakbox is

You've ever been stuck in sugar sand

There are at least six Wawas within 10 miles of your house

You know what a Wawa is

You know county highways by the route number (539, 571, 537, etc...)

You go to Seaside to stay up all night...and fish on Island Beach

You have friends and relatives who are Pineys

You know what a Piney is

I def always say I'm from south jersey, to me there two separate states. I'm not sure why north jerseyians insist on correcting what south jersey people say, even if their not english majors. I know my freshman year at rutgers people would ask me to say "home depot" and then laugh like idiots afterwards, I never understood the big deal. That is a good list I especially like the lager one that is so true.
