A very nice state to live in, as far as I'm concerned. To debunk some silly myths:
I don't go down the shore. Ewwww that hurt to write. I go to the beach. Only my relatives from philly call it the shore.
Boardwalks are crappy, skeevy places (With a few exceptions). I don't like them, and my beach doesn't even have them.
Um... Exit? What? I don't even know what mine is. We don't know things about people just based on their exit...what is that?
Ahhh... Guidos and guidettes... Thanks MTV! Seriously, in my entire school, they are probably about 5 people like that. We don't really notice them. They're just, like, Italian people, I guess. I dislike their fashion sense. New Jersey is diversified. There are just as many Irish, Germans, blacks, Indians, etc as Italians. I'm not a bit Italian!
Actually some of us DO call them hoagies. I think Northern NJ, influenced by NY, might call them subs. But...we don't in Central NJ.
We have pretty places and not so nice places, just like any other state.
We're a normal state! Why so many stereotypes? It makes me sad. I like my New Jersey with its good produce and my beach and yeah... You should visit beofre you make judgement!

A term that some people from New Jersey and the Philly-area use to mean "going to the beach for a vacation." For some reason, it really irks many people, myself included. I go to the beach! And then, once I'm at my beachhouse, I go on the beach! It's quite simple, really. I think rich people from Philly invented this term when they would go to Ocean City in summers. And I guess if I had to use it, I would use it in relation to Seaside or Point Pleasant, but certainly not Long Beach Island (the best beach ever, cough cough). LBI is most definitely the beach!
Old lady or Philiadelphian or annoying person: Oh, are you going down the shore next week?
Me: ummm... Yeah we're going to the BEach. (forced smile).
