Regionalisms

Social media can be a treasure trove of things that we can identify with. A friend of mine shared an article the other day about things that don't make sense to many of us in New Jersey, and I could immediately identify with it on a few levels.

If you look at the photo above, it's just a pizza. Don't get me wrong, I love pizza as much as the next guy, but it's not a true Jersey Shore boardwalk pizza. And it's certainly not another staple of the Jersey diet - the tomato pie.

There are a lot of differences between North and South Jersey. Heck, we could even get into a debate about where North, Central, and South all begin and end, but that's a debate for another day.

Having grown up mostly in Middlesex County, I've visited "The City" plenty of times. It's only recently though that I realized that when you say "do you want to go to The City?", it may not mean the same thing to everyone.

I've always been fascinated by the differences between different regions, especially accents. Recently, a dating site asked which group of Americans has the sexiest accents?

I have to take issue with this article.

There can be times that you can tell where in New Jersey someone grew up just by how they say certain words.
