Island, British Crown Dependency in the English Channel. Term often misused to identify a US state by Americans who are blithely unaware of the Island's existence.
New Jersey resident: I'm from Jersey.

Jersey resident: No you're not. I'm from Jersey. You're from NEW Jersey.

New Jersey resident: (confused) It's the same thing.

Jersey resident: Hasn't it occurred to you that if your state's called
New Jersey, there must also be an "old" Jersey somewhere?

New Jersey resident: Er, um...(panics, then brain suddenly implodes attempting to process this information).

Jersey resident: That's a shame. I was also going to tell him where York and Hampshire are.

The best state in the U.S
Home to one of the wealthiest towns in America, and is known for it's fantastic educational standings.
We know how to drive here in Jersey, tourists don't.
Be prepared to be flipped off and honked at 24/7.
In Jersey, we don't go to the motherfuckin' beach. We go down the shore.

Jersey is a state in the northeast united states that gets overly stereotyped. The people talk with pseudo-New York accents, but not everyone is obnoxious or a Guido, as TV makes it out to be. In fact, the guido crowd at seaside heights or belmar, is made up of mostly new yorkers and people from north jersey. Most people in central and southern nj, do not have fake tans and practice "GTL"
New jersey resident at seaside heights 1: Look at all those people with fake tans, they must be from staten island, they are so obnoxious.

New jersey resident at seaside heights 2: Yea i know, but people from out of state think that everyone in jersey is like that... idiots.

The only place in America where a fart is refreshing.
Friend 1: So I was drivin on the Turnpike the other day with the windows down, and Craig just lets out this beastly fart.

Friend 2: Good thing he did.

Friend 1: Damn right, we rolled the windows up. Hell, it smells a hell of a lot better than Jersey.

Jersey is more than just a place. It's a way of life. From "Jrz Slang" to the historic events and places. People from Jersey will either rep it to death or hate it. The real Jersians love it. They, Including I, eat the ones who do not. From the GW to Sandy Hook and beyond, everyone in it is either family or foe. REP NJ, REP JERZ.
Dude, I bought one of those "I hate NY, I Love New Jersey" Tees the other day.

LETS GET ONE THING STRAIGHT I'm from New Jersey. I curse alot. I say "yo".Don't worry about how I tawk.I never had school on Rosh Hashana or Yom Kippur. I sure as hell don't pump my own gas. I know what real pizza tastes like, and I know that a bagel is more than a roll with a hole in the middle. All good nights usually end at a diner, preferably w/ fries. It's a SUB, not a hoagie or worse , a hero, and I wash it down with soda,not POP. And I don't go to the beach - I go down the shore. Its not New York City :it's simply "The City". I judge people by what exit they are off the parkway. I know 65 mph really means 80. When someone cuts me off, they get the horn and the finger, and they expect it. I'm from New Jersey , and I FUCKIN LOVE THIS PLACE...
guy1: im guna teach that guy a lesson
guy2: nah chilll hes from jersey
guy1: damn, thanks for the warning

jersey guy: fcuk you (punches guy 1 for no reason) :)
