17 Things That Are Absolutely 100% New Jersey Culture

    A magical place, tbh.

    1. The phrase “yeahyeahyeahnononoyeah” makes sense to us:

    New Jersey is the only place where someone can say “yeahyeahyeahnononoyeah”and everyone knows what they mean

    2. And it's the only place where "you're welcome" is used in a shady way:

    I’m from New Jersey where people say “You’re Welcome” to remind you to say Thank You

    3. Flipping tables is our thing.

    *flips a table in anger Person from New Jersey: Please stop appropriating our culture.

    4. And we are good at handling shit.

    5. We love pork roll.

    we’re going through TSA to get to our gate and they hold my moms carry on to the side and i asked why? she fucking brought pork roll. i cannot make this shit up.

    6. Like really love it.

    wow this epitomizes New Jersey culture https://t.co/ZOG1rdN3Pp

    7. And South Jersey people loooove their hoagies.

    I am scared by how hoagie-centric South Jersey culture is.

    8. We have the best bagels:

    New Jersey culture is finding one decent bagel spot near you and claiming to everyone that they’re the best in the world

    9. This stuff happens at bars:

    on thanksgiving eve two guys came up to me at the bar and asked which of them looked more italian. i’ve never felt closer to the new jersey culture than i did in that very moment.

    10. And bars/clubs remix, like, everything:

    New Jersey culture is going to a club and hearing an EDM remix of the Dominick the Donkey which happened tonight so wheesnaw goodnight I’m done

    11. We're always wary when a stranger smiles at us:

    People from NY/NJ when a stranger smiles or says hi to them

    12. We're a little aggressive.

    13. Yes, we mispronounce things, like "water" and "half":

    my niece keeps telling my dad he says “water” wrong because of his New Jersey accent 😂

    14. But we don't really care because this is our mantra:

    i’m from jersey so i don’t really give a fuck

    15. We're pretty dramatic when it comes to pumping gas:

    people from literally any other state when people from New Jersey cry because they have to pump their own gas for the first time

    16. But listen, we have the best stuff:

    I’ve made this argument a bunch of times...New Jersey literally has everything. Mountains. Beaches. Two major cities in super close proximity. Amazing produce. What’s not to love? Besides, you know, how damn much it costs to live here 🤷🏻‍♀️ https://t.co/0pVQia0BDb
