South Jersey...land of the pork roll lovers and Wawa hoagie fanatics. South Jersey and North Jersey are just about as opposite as Antartica and Africa. People who are from South Jersey are very passionate about being from South Jersey. We have our own traditions, slang, and phrases that only our fellow South Jersian's understand.
1. "I just ate a PORKROLL egg and cheese breakfast sandwich."
It's pork roll c'mon.
2. "Can you grab me a 'TAIL' to dry off with?"
We know how towel is spelled, and no we don't use an animal's tail to dry off with.
3. "What are 'yous' doing tonight?"
Because saying "you guys" is just not the South Jersey way.
4. "Were you at Susqehenna tailgating last weekend?"
"BB&T Pavilillion" is never going to be a thing Camden, gosh stop trying to make it work!
5. "I'm going down the shore this weekend."
It's not "I'm going to the beach." We're going "down the shore". Most likely to Wildwood, Ocean City, Sea Isle, or Atlantic City.
6. "Can't wait to go to the Mummer's Parade."
Only the realest know the greatness that comes along with the Mummers Parade on New Years Day.
7. "I'm so thirsty, I need some 'wooder.'"
Nothing more to say about this one, just some high-quality H2O.
8. "It's Wawa hoagie fest."
The best time of year in South Jersey.
9. "Can you hand me that jawn? What's that jawn? Who's that jawn? Where's that jawn? Now that's a jawn piece."
'Jawn', it's the word to describe everything and anything that comes to mind.
10. "I'm from right outside of Philly."
When anyone not from South Jersey asks you where you live you usually go with this statement, because the likelihood of them having any idea where you live from the name of your town is slim to none.
