New Jersey messy

Specifically Northern New Jersey messy.

Another way of saying: “It probably mob related without actually saying: “it’s mob related”.

An example would be noticing all of the pizza boxes in Northern New Jersey are exactly the same no matter where you buy pizza; and, being stupid enough to ask the question “why” aloud to the owner of a random shop.

If the owner doesn’t know you as a regular customer the more common answer would be:

“Who fuckin’ wants to know?”.

But, if you are known and liked as a regular customer the shop owner will mutter:

“It’s New Jersey messy”

meaning it’s mob related; and, that you just asked a stupid question.

Friend #1 Is that watch and designer shirt you’re wearing real or knock offs?
Friend #2 It’s New Jersey messy, don’t look too closely.
