Most importantly about a new jersey accent, NO ONE SAYS JOISEY. I dont know how this myth got started, but it just dosent exist. People from south, central, and north Jersey have different accents. People from south Jersey are more likely to say the word "daughter" as "daater", while people from north Jersey are more likely to say "dawter". I'm from central Jersey and i say "dawter" and also "mairy", not "marry". But it all depends where you're from. Most people sound like they're from Philly, but not everyone, especially if you're from Jersey City. And no, not all the girls have thick, stereotypical, nasal "joisey" accents.
Jersey Girl: I'm from central Jersey.
Guy from Western state (in a nasal voice): Uhhh, yuh frum JOISEY! Wheyahs ya new joisey akksend?
Jersey Girl: I'm not from JOISEY, and no one has that sort of new jersey accent, stupid!
