South Jersey

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.

Person: Gimme a wooder, a beggle, and a heauhgie.
Waitress: Can you point to that on the menu, please? ...Oh, a water, a bagel, and a hoagie. Sorry, I didn't understand your accent. South Jersey, right?
Person: I DON'T HAVE AN ACCENT!!!! And can you hurry? I rilly have to get heauhme and feed my kih-ens before the Iggles game starts.
Waitress: Riiiight...

(rilly=really, heauhme=home, kih-ens=kittens, Iggles=Eagles)
