The part of New Jersey you don't see in the movies. Full of farms and lots of trees. Probably one of the safest places to live (not north jersey), not industrial at all. We have the best shores on the east coast. Wildwood, ocean city, cape may. We do NOT talk with a New York accent, more of a Philly accent. We say "want to" like "wunna" or "don't know" like "dunno." We say "yo" or "dude" at the beginning of every sentence. Instead of saying "ummm" as a filler, we say "fuckin". We curse in almost every sentence we speak. We don't say "going to the beach" we say "down the shore." We are the only place you will see someone who is half Italian, half Irish. Most of us love all the Philly sports teams and hate the cowboys and giants. We have really hot girls with attitudes, some are trashy, but hey, who doesn't have them. Don't try to say you have a boardwalk unless you live in Wildwood. ITS A HOAGIE, NOT A SUB. You pray to Wawa every night, and you say water like "wooder". Everybody goes to the shore for the prom weekend. Most of us are spoiled, but hey, we are the richest state. We have a great climate, cold in winter, hot in summer. We don't give a shit about what you think, and if you even dare say, "you from joisey huh?" we will tell you to shut the fuck up. We have an accent, but not a ridiculous one, and we don't make fun of you for saying, Y'all, or Eh, right on, etc... We curse way to much (I think i said that). Do not associate us with New York. Finally, we all think that south jersey should be separate from north jersey, we are two totally different kinds of people, so STOP LABELING US.
"Yo, fuckinnnn...what are you doin' tonight?"
"I dunno, dude. Wanna get shitfaced?"
"If we get some fuckin pussy, dude."
"Alright, dude, call me at 10."
"Alright yo, later."
"South Jersey is the best fuckin' place ever, yo."

("SJ", "The Shore", "Near Philly", et.al.)
The region of Southern New Jersey, close to Philadelphia, generally middle to upper- middle class.
Often credited by inhabitants only for its convenience stores & (other) inhabitants, who (according to the former) apparently are all assholes.
Political opinion varies per town. Per acre, really. Far left, walk a few blocks, far right.
Highly suburban areas place great emphasis on the youth commmunity, with its good public schooling & numerous trashy high-class shopping outlets.
Most adults aged 30+ are in the suburbs to raise a family. Often through a lifetime of hard work, Baby Boomers settle in a 'nice neighborhood' in SJ only to yield offspring not nearly as disciplined or adept to the outside world.
Most youths who complain about South Jersey stay there, due to inactivity developed from years of complaining.
Most youths, for better and for worse, fall into social categories. Devotion to these labels vary.
Grass covers the highway medians, which is more than North Jersey can say. Wooods still line roads & backyards, and parks, lakes, & pines are but a short drive away.
Rednecks still prevail on the outskirts of suburbia.
A generally nice place to live & grow up.
One of the best places to live in the world in terms of safety, economy, environment, education, etc.
We still complain though. it's not perfect.

(Typical conversation between a South & a North Jerseyan)
North: Hi, I'm from North Jersey.
South: Hi, I'm from South Jersey.
N: Wanna get a sub at the Quick Stop?
S: No, I've got a hoagie from WaWa.
N: I didn't know you liked cold cuts.
S: No, I like lunchmeat.
N: Did you see that show in NYC?
S: No, I saw one in Philly.
N: How do you say 'water'?
S: 'water'.
N: OMG! What about 'coffee'?
S:'coffee'.
N: !!
(Conversation continues with discussions on which region has superior food and whether Central Jersey exists.)
(Wow; most of the bracketed words are filthy!)
North: Hi, I'm from North Jersey.
South: Hi, I'm from South Jersey.

The better part of New Jersey. Yes, we have Camden, but overall we are the better half of the state. House prices aren't ridiculous, we have fewer factories, and we have the Jersey Shore. Plus, we roll with Philly, which is a much cleaner and less shitty city than New York.

The part NOT influenced by those from New Yawk City. Prior to Atlantic City becoming a gambling hellhole (versus just a abandoned vacation city hellhole) South Jersey was pretty much an entire different land from Northern New Jersey. In fact there was a movement to sucede from Northern New Jersey in the late 1960's but it didn't work. Also reference Piney or Pinies.

Southern half of New Jersey where the area codes are 609 or 856. You love and represent Wawa as your convenience store, and all Philly teams, despite those who come here and try to root for NY/NJ teams. You go away to school your 1st year or 2 but then realize that South Jersey is where you need to be and transfer to Stockton or Rowan. The sub/hoagie thing is disputable (sub closer to the beaches, hoagie closer to Philly), but it's NEVER a hero or a grinder. We have our South Jersey accent and we're damn proud of it. People really aren't assholes here in my opinion. It's cleaner and has a lot more scenery than the north and it's a great place to raise a family. Yeah Camden and Atlantic City suck but everywhere else is fairly safe. South Jersey is better in all aspects than the north!!!
Me: "Hey where are you from?"
Someone else: "North Jersey, you?"
Me: "South Jersey"
Someone else: "That's cool, want to go to Quick Chek??"
Me: "Hell no, I'll road trip to the nearest Wawa!!"
Someone else: "North Jersey, you?"
Me: "South Jersey"

A section of New Jersey largely populated by stuck-up people with poor grammar, as evidenced by the other definitions. Residents have extremely strange accents that people from other regions might find difficult to understand, though they deny this vehemently. They call sprinkles "jimmies" and order everything by saying, "Gimme a ____," usually regardless of the fact that they should use "an" in front of words starting in vowels.
Person: Gimme a wooder, a beggle, and a heauhgie.
Waitress: Can you point to that on the menu, please? ...Oh, a water, a bagel, and a hoagie. Sorry, I didn't understand your accent. South Jersey, right?
Person: I DON'T HAVE AN ACCENT!!!! And can you hurry? I rilly have to get heauhme and feed my kih-ens before the Iggles game starts.
Waitress: Riiiight...
(rilly=really, heauhme=home, kih-ens=kittens, Iggles=Eagles)
