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.

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.

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.

The better part of Jersey, which includes anything south of I-95.

We support secession from North Jersey, and have a dialect similar to that of a Philadelphian.

South Jersey should be part of Pennsylvania. They are below the dixie line and think Rowan is a real university. The professors there are retards that were born in Atlantic city. The people down there are even worse. Compare them to the movie the hills have eyes. North Jersey is real Jersey not aliens that sit around smoke boges and eat wawa 3 times a day because they are too poor to by real food. They all have stupid facial hair and think {Philly is a big city. Even though philly is the city of brotherly love aka gays. When you're driving down south make sure you have enough gas to get from 7A on the turnpike to Delaware cause you do NOT wanna stop.

For the record its SOUTH Jersey not "southern" Jersey. Philly rocks and NYC sucks. If your here and you don't know what a wawa is you can go back to the North.

It a hoggie not a fricking sub. You root for the Phillies not the damn mets and even though the eagles suck you still bleed green. Point Pleasant is not the shore wildwood, ocean city, and cape may are. Most families are either from Philly or have Irish/Italian relatives that live there. We aren't afraid or goin in the woods 'cus we have the fricking jersey devil!

One word for you: MALLS! Depford, Cherry hill, Echelon.. we have alot.

Sure we have camden but other then that we have great communities. there's Haddenfield, Cherry Hill, and several other great towns.

North Jersey can have there politics and ivy league schools all to themselves. Leave us "Southerners" the hell alone!!!!!

Contrary to many "North Jersey: definitions, South Jersey boasts an array of economic profitability to the state as a whole. It is home to the state's 3 nuclear power plants (which for the ignorant, do no emit radioactive pollution, so reserve your half-educated "jokes") which provide 50% of the energy consumption by the state. New Jersey ranks in the top five states in country for production of blueberries, cranberries, spinach, bell peppers, peaches and head lettuce, all of which are primarily grown in SOUTH JERSEY. Tourism, which also constitutes a considerable fraction of NJ's GDP, is virtually exclusive to the southern region on the state.
Not to mention cost of living, North Jersey may be dubbed "advanced" by some residents on here, however consider the median family income of a SJ county, Gloucester, at $82,655 with a median home value of $245,000. Morris County, in North Jersey, has a median family income of $102,096 and average home value of $458,000. I'm no mathematician but it seems that relative to income, North Jersey is significantly more expensive. Perhaps this explains why the state's foreclosures are concentrated in the Northern counties, not because the "advanced" counties are home to more expensive house values but because the real estate market is hyper-inflated.

Not to mention, the lack of diversity in SJ is relative to the Philly metro area, as NJ's is relative to the more diverse NYC...common sense.
