South Jersey..because Philadelphia is our city, we love WaWa(and there is at least 1 every 5 miles), the Eagles(people randomly shout out the E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES cheer EVERYWHERE), a good hoagie not sub/hero, a real cheesesteak, jimmies on our ice cream, you ask what exit one if from off of the NJ turnpike,its the shore not the beach (and you always go there after prom), you know where the cherry hill, moorestown, deptford and even echelon mall are, and we think North Jersey should be a separate state.

A commonly misunderstood region of the country. South Jersey is slightly different than North Jersey. South Jersey calls it a hoagie thank you very much, and South Jersey residents know for a fact that none of them NONE OF THEM are anything, ANYTHING like any cast member from the Jersey Shore.
If you are from South Jersey you do not say "Joisy" and you definatly say "Wooder" not "Water"
Residents should be their own state and they know it. At the very least South Jersey should be combined with Delaware and Philadelphia and its suburbs to make a new state, South Jersey residents really are sick of being connected with the Jersey Shore and North Jersey in general.
New Jersey is a state that gets constantly made fun of by comedians and TV shows yet they make fun of North Jersey associating it with the mob and corruption, South Jersey has it's own downsides to make fun of thank you very much, we are plagued by drugs and corruption of our own we do not need the Mafia to be made fun of.
To summarize the difference between North and South Jersey, you can't gather more than ten people in South Jersey without at least one of them wearing a Philadelphia Phillies shirt in some way or another.
And no the Nets are not ours, when it comes to basketball we stick our heads in the ground and pretend we live in another part of the country.
One final thing, we do not have an accent, everyone else does.
Tourist: "Yo dude I'm seeing red tee-shirts everywhere man! Is it international red day or something?"
Local: "No we're just Phillies fans:
Tourist: "But it's.....winter Spring Training doens't even start for a month"
Local: "You're in South Jersey the more red you see the farther you know you are from the North, and the better"

South Jersey, one of the best places on Earth. The home of Atlantic City, the country's playground. We love Wawa, and if you don't know what the heck a Wawa is, then sure as heck don't live here. Try to snatch a Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpet our of our hands, and you'll only have a fraction of your fingers left, gauranteed. We wouldn't dream of pumping our own gas, and the average cost of our houses is anywhere from $5oo,ooo to a cool million. Our lighthouses are beautiful, and the beaches, bays, lakes, and rivers that they overlook are even more stunning. In South Jersey, we know the value of a horse and a farm, much unlike our Northern brethren (they like factories and other toys). We have the sickest accent ever, and yes we drink "wooder" (water), and eat "begels" (bagels). Not from here? That makes you a shoobie, and we automatically don't like you. And yes, we can point you out, no matter how cool, calm or collected you may seem. We're assholes, get over it. Here, the middle finger is worshipped. We looooooove pizza, and other junk that'll kill us in the long run. We do to know how to drive, don't be mad because you're stuck in the slow lane. Some of the hugest political scandals have happened here, and if John Kerry (from here) would have beaten Bush, our country probably would have been better off right now. We're South Jersians, a.k.a Woodies, don't like it, we'll kick your ass.
Tourist: These South Jersey people drive like maniacs!
New Jersian: *beep* Move out of the way asshole, you're drivin like 5 miles an hour.

South Jersey is the best in the world. First and foremost you can't purchase lottery tickets at WaWa...only at Hertiage and 7-11 if you can find one. You can get to almost anywhere on the White and Black Horse Pikes, Rt 73 and Rt 42. We don't have to get out the car to pump gas. You look forward every summer to eat Jersey corn, tomatoes, peaches, strawberries and blueberries from roadside stands. You don't have to leave South Jersey to have a good time and if you do just pay 3 dollars to roll across the bridge for some city fun.
South Jersey is a great place to live.

Not the only place
"Rednecks" or "Gangsters" reside.
Gangs and under-educated people are everywhere. OMG... yes there are even some of these rebels in North Jersey!
Our Farmers produce top quality corn, tomatoes, as well as other fine produce. Our Shore/Beach (whatever you prefer) is exciting and within a hour from most people.
We are "Guilty" of using the word "like" at least 20 times in a story and we have attitude so deal with it.
As for Education the school systems in most areas are great. Subtract Camden from the State and we would be perfect!
South Jersey bad habit #1 Saying the word like to often.
He was like, "I cant wait to go the the concert!" and I was like, "I know but I already asked this other guy to go so get over it." then he was like...
