down the shore

If you are from New Jersey the term "DOWN THE SHORE" means going to a shore town for more than just the beach. If you are simply going to the beach, you say "going to the beach". If you are going "down the shore" you are going to hang out on the boardwalk and hit up the bars at night.

Down the Shore

Down the shore is the term used by people from New Jersey - specifically Northern Jersey (away from the shore area) - to describe going to the beach areas. Since New Jersey's beaches are all in the central and southern parts of the state rather than the Northern part of the state, which is blocked by New York City so there are no beaches, going "down the shore" means you're heading south. That's where the "down" part comes from. People who live near the beach wouldn't say "down the shore" because they're already living in that area. Once at the shore, if you're going to the beach you would just say "I'm going to the beach". But the term "down the shore" actually just refers to heading south towards the shore points on the New Jersey coast, or to the general shore area, because the Jersey Shore is more than beaches. It is also made up of boardwalks (with rides, food, water parks), bays, lagoons, many restaurants, etc. So if you are just going to hang out in those areas, you would probably just say "down the shore".
Girl from North Jersey: I'm going down the shore for July Fourth weekend!

Guy from North Jersey: Cool! What are you guys planning on doing down there?

Girl from North Jersey: You know, go to the beach, hang out on the boardwalk, go on some rides. The usual stuff.

the score

know the score

The ability to recognize and communicate something being out of whack or off balance.
When your boss is trying to get you to do something outside of your job description and they are not paying you for the additional work... you should reply...
"Look (insert boss' name here) - I know the score. I know what's what. I'm not doing that TPS report unless you either a) pay me more, or b) lick my asshole first, literally... get down there and lick my asshole and recognize what it feels like to be scum... ok? good talk. let me get back to what I was doing before you interrupted."

Used in a sentence:
"Eh... they can ask all they want... I'm not working late tomorrow night. They know the score... I don't need to tell them."

the s'more

This is sexual activity in which it is both pleasurable and fulfilling for both the female and male counterparts. After the male cums into the vagina, the female poos and closes her legs and stands up. This causes the semen to fall out of the vagina mixing with the trapped poo resulting in a s'more.
One day, Mike was sharing with his best friend, Ben, about his sexual activities from the night before.

Mike: "Yeah, I totally did the s'more last night with my hoe."
Ben: "Dude, we're beefin'."
