"Jersey"

[Queersetti]

What's the deal with people from New Jersey just calling it "Jersey"?

People from New York and New Hampshire don't do that.

 

[Aphro]

All people from Jersey look like this, don't they?

In which case, "New Jersey" is just one too many words to have to spell...

Just think, their ancestors built Rome and brought forth the Renaissance.

Like Cher, we only need one name.

You do realize that those in the photo are from Staten Island, ny. Long Island, ny. And Conneticut.
Sadly maybe only one is from Jersey.

I didn't post the picture. What's your point?

 

[Queersetti]

Like Cher, we only need one name.

You know what Mainers call New Hampshire?

"The toll plaza on the way to the Fenway."

I was born there and grew up with relatives who always....always...referred to it as "Jersey".

I moved Down South and my teachers always had to correct me, "It's 'NEW' Jersey"....

Like some guy from old Jersey is going to show up and get pissed off.

Venerable ancient grandmother used to pronounce it Jerrrrzeee, not unlike Massachusetts folks pronouncing "Quincy" as "Quinzzzzzeee"

Jersey is a cow. If your relatives say you came from a cow, pretty much everybody else will, too.

A Quinsey (pronounced Quinzzzeee) is a peritonsillar abscess. Coincidence?

I had to look up "peritonsillar abscess" and I'm quite sorry now that I did.

Perhaps each of them had a quinsey.

Quinsey sounds like one of those diseases people were always being stricken with in Victorian novels. Not quite as bad as consumption, but damn close.


I always thought it was mostly New Yorkers who called it Jersey?

 

[Liar]

The real Jersey shore.

Remember when Ishmael used to refer to his periodic gonorrhea infections as "the Grippe"?

Same with me. People not from New Jersey don't tend to understand what New Jersey is actually like. Kind of like how I'm not from South Dakota and can therefore never understand what it's actually like.

They're embarrassed about the fact that it's "new" and still such a shithole.

 

[Joeybagadonuts]

There is no New Jersey. There's North Jersey and South Jersey.

You got a problem with dat?

I think that was Staten Island you were looking at.

 

[islandman]

North Jersey is more civilized given it's proximity to NY.

South Jersey might as well be Kentucky.

Last time I was there Kentucky had no wide white sand beaches.

Staten Island is a shithole too. It was tainted by its proximity to New Jersey.

And what's your excuse for Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and half of Long Island?
