("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!)

New Jersey? What much is there to say rather than the fact that I reside in said state, and hate everything about it. The state is typically filled with assholes who think that they are better than you and because of that fact, are incredibly rude to you. The majority of the youth of the state typically believe that sports alone can get you into college.
THAT is the negative of the state.
THIS is the positive.
The shore/beach. Everywhere except Atlantic City. The schools are good, and so are a minority of the youth who are able to see the negative of the state; they abuse the good of the state and revel in it.
Please note that the MTV program, "Jersey Shore" is not similar to New Jersey at all, for the cast are absolute morons who have no idea what New Jersey is.

Get the jersey city mug.The most dominant team in the Eastern Conference of the NHL since 1995. They own the New York Rangers and the Philadelphia Flyers. Winners of three Stanley Cups from 1995-2003. They used the neutral zone trap and the skill of their goaltender Martin Brodeur at playing the puck outside the crease to dominate their division and conference for more than a decade. Gary Bettman, a man seemingly intent on destroying hockey, invented the new "Brokeback NHL" in response to the Devils frustrating defensive system that stressed low scoring, defense and winning games and cups instead of the Mark Messier inspired "overpaid whining pussy, no-contact-or-I'll-cry, take-it-in-the-butt" style and attitude that seemed to summarize their cross-river rivals, the NY Rangers and their legion of snivelling, whining, douchebag fans. The Rangers fans are quick to point out the Devils' relative lack of fans, but as an original 6 team in North America's largest city, that just seems like more petty bullshit from a group of people who, despite the fact that they are New York and the salary cap just came into being, have enjoyed exactly 1 Stanley Cup championship since the start of World War II. 3 Cups since 1995 for a team that moved to the suburbs in 1982, or 1 since before Pearl Harbor for New York City, you do the math . . .
Who owns the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers? The New Jersey Devils.
Who effectively ended the NHL career of Eric Lindros? Scott Stevens of the New Jersey Devils on his way to yet another Stanley Cup (fortunately the Rangers then acquired Mr. too-many-headaches Pussy).
The New Jersey Devils were unbeaten against the New York Rangers for 20 games.
Who swept the NY Rangers in the 2006 playoffs? The New Jersey Devils.
Maybe Mike Richter and Brian Leetch would like to look at the 3 Stanley Cup rings owned by Martin Brodeur and Scott Stevens of the New Jersey Devils.
The idea of having to play the New Jersey Devils used to drive Theo Fleury to drink.
