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.

body massage

A New Jersey slang expression for beating the hell out of someone with a baseball bat. Also known as a Jersey massage or a Louisville Slugger beatdown.

That asshole Tony's been hitting on my girlfriend again. A hardcore body massage, and a month in intensive care, should give him something else to think about.

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.

See also bennies, shoobies, and Wally and Marge.

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

batcave entrance

A vehicle entrance to a facility that is obscure and infrequently used. Often the only people who know of this entrance are the employees who work there. Golf courses, farms, industrial parks, sports facilities and outdoor museums often have batcave entrances. Management often frowns on use of this entrance. This term is inspired by the "Batman" TV series from the 1960's. In that program, the entrance to the Batcave was down a little-used dirt road that was blocked at one end by a fake wooden barrier.

My boss told me I had better not be late again, so I had to use the batcave entrance to get to the office on time.

beer breakfast

Beer breakfast is related to a common morning ritual of single males known as dreakfast, the consuming of leftovers from last night's dinner for breakfast. Beer is often a part of this meal. Women tend to find it repulsive.

While you make the pancakes and get out the brew for beer breakfast, I'm going to snack on cold pizza from last night's party for dreakfast.

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."
