smock job

A low-paying job in the retail industry that requires the wearing of a smock. The smock generally has a corporate logo or advertising slogan printed on it, turning the employee into a human billboard. The smock is often seen as demeaning by the employees who must wear them. Excellent examples of smock jobs are the salespeople at stores such as Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and Home Depot.

When Steve's job in the tech sector was eliminated and sent offshore, he had to swallow his pride and take a smock job at Wal-Mart just to pay the bills.

Afternoon delight

The awful title of one of the most awful songs ever written. It was performed by the Starland Vocal Band, a group of talentless hacks who are living proof that you can, in fact, sell your soul to Satan in exchange for success.

If you were around in the 70's, as I was, the "song" Afternoon Delight will scar your psyche until your dying day.

smock

A badge of shame worn by the low-paid, low-skilled workers at retail stores like Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and Home Depot. The smocks worn by employees of these stores are usually covered in advertising. They are also usually filthy. Source of the term smock job.

If you need to find a salesperson at Wal-Mart, just look for a nasty, big-assed white trash woman in stretch pants and a dirty smock. When you speak to her, you can put money on it that she will call you "hon."

gunderson

An insulting Jersey Shore name for tourists from the Midwest, especially those who are naive or who have never seen the ocean (or Atlantic City) before. This term likely evolved sometime after the release of the movie Fargo, which featured a major character named Gunderson.

Hey, check out that gunderson staring at the Borgata Babe.

Wally and Marge

Derogatory slang term for naive, elderly Midwestern tourist couples that visit the Jersey Shore. Often arrive as part of tour groups visiting Atlantic City.

See also gunderson, bennies, and shoobies.

Can you believe it? Wally and Marge over there just asked me what part of town could they see houses that belong to real Mafia guys! (Note: I really was asked that question by a real Wally and Marge!)

Sopranoland

A recent nickname (first heard in 2003) for northern New Jersey, generally used by residents of South Jersey. Refers to the popular HBO series The Sopranos which takes place in North Jersey.

I'm going to drive up the Turnpike to Sopranoland tonight to watch the Devils game.

Jersey Shore

Popular term used to describe the Atlantic Ocean coastline of the State of New Jersey in the United States. New Jersey natives who are planning to go to the area often say they are going "down the shore". The term "Jersey Shore" is often shortened to simply "The Shore" by natives of New Jersey (just as the name of the state is sometimes shortened to just Jersey). The Jersey Shore is composed of the coastal communities of (from north to south) Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic and Cape May counties. Though the city of Cape May has been a summer retreat since the 1760's, the Jersey Shore did not become a truly popular summer resort area until the mid-19th century, when railroads made it relatively easy for people to travel to the region. Summer tourism accounts for a large percentage of the economies of the four Jersey Shore counties, especially in Atlantic (home of Atlantic City) and Cape May counties (Cape May County's economy is almost entirely dependent on tourism). Jersey Shore locals sometimes refer to summer tourists as bennies (most often heard in Monmouth and Ocean counties) or shoobies (generally used in Atlantic and Cape May counties). Visitors to the Jersey Shore often ask why the region is called "shore" and not "beach." The truth is, nobody knows.

People from across the United States enjoy spending part of their summer at the Jersey Shore.
