A beautiful island in the English Channel, not a state of the USA. The commander of the British forces during the last attempted invasion of Jersey by the French was given an area of land in America as gift for winning the 'Battle of Jersey'. He named this land 'New Jersey' in honour of the island he fought to protect. Well known for it's occupation during WW2 by the german forces, and famous for it's own breed of cattle and potatoes.

Get the Jersey Slide mug.An old legend that dates back to colonial times about a woman who gave birth to some kind of demonic creature. This creature was supposedly born in what is now Atlantic County, New Jersey, in a forest known as the Pine Barrens. To this day, the Pine Barrens still covers much of South Jersey, and over the years, a veriety of tales have been told about sitings of the Jersey Devil. Of course, most of these sitings were reported by good old folks who lived on the backroads, a.k.a. pineys, and of course there were never any other whitnesses. New Jersey's NHL team was named after this legend.
"You're never gonna belive this, Jim, but I saw the Jersey Devil last night. It was about 3am, I just left the Blue Marlin, I was drivin down Pitney Road, an there were these glowing red eyes comin out of the fuckin woods. It was this shadowy figure and it ran accross the road right in front of my truck and back into the woods. I swear on my life it was the fuckin Jersey Devil."
"Oh yeah? How many drinks did you have at the Marlin?"

Get the New Jersey Hot Pack mug.A girl from New Jersey that wears too much makeup, smokes 11 cigarettes an hour, thinks that the only good shopping in the world takes place in a New Jersey mall, sleeps with guys to mask her self-esteem issues, and wears her hair so high that it hits the overpass when she's walking down the Garden State Parkway after her boyfriend has thrown her out of the car for checking out the guy in the more expensive car in the express lane.
Dude, don't go out with that girl, she's a bonafide Jersey mall skank. You can't trust that bitch as far as Pedro Martinez can throw.

Get the jersey mall skank mug.“She's humble, but ambitious. She's independent, but family-oriented. She likes pizza, beer and lots of mascara, but don't think for a second that she's not sophisticated.
She's the Jersey Girl, and she's one of the Garden State's most enduring icons- a readily identifiable personality, as much a part of America's cultural landscape as that other great Jerseyan, Frank Sinatra.
So who is a Jersey Girl? There's a chance you're one- but residency isn't all it takes. The Girl has a specific character, both in pop culture and in the hearts and minds of Jerseyans.
First there are the surface qualities: A love of an unpretentious good time, and a certain sense of style. Jersey Girls are about attitude. They're about eating pizza, drinking beer, having great hair- and enjoying it all.
She's a girl who enjoys the mall, might wear more makeup than the Ivy League would approve of, and gives some thought to her hair. She's got a mouth on her. She says what she means. And she's got a nice, cheerful laugh. She's spunky and witty, and she handles competition very well. She's got that confidence- everyone from New Jersey has that confidence.
A Jersey Girl is crunchy on the outside, and soft in the center. A Jersey Girl has the tenacity and drive of a New Yorker, but with the beauty of warmth and humility that being from Jersey is all about. Don't mistake her toughness as a lack of refinement. Don't misjudge her sometimes “brash” manners as a lack of 'classiness.' At the center of the crunchy sweet exterior, she is tuned in and knows how and what she's working.
A Jersey Girl doesn't have to have a high-powered career, but whatever work she does, she gives it her all- and she takes care of her family at the same time. The overall makeup, if you will, of a true Jersey Girl: hard-working, family-oriented, spirited, one of a kind. And if you're lucky, she's your wife.
Bottom line, all of them are sexy as hell.”
