I live in New Jersey. But unlike 98% of the population of the state, I am neither Italian, Catholic, nor Jewish. I live nowhere near the Parkway. I don't wear cologne or body spray, and I've never gotten a spray-on tan. Nonetheless, I'm a New Jerseyan, and this is a short list of what my people do:
Jersey Salute - Giving someone the finger while driving, likely as a result of something they did wrong. Jersey Bump - Gently hitting (a.k.a. love-tapping) the car in front of you and behind you while parallel parking. Jersey Crawl - Not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. Jersey Jump/Scoot - Making a left turn as soon as the light turns green, cutting off a person moving forward in the opposite direction. Jersey Shuffle/Slide/Sweep - Crossing three or more lanes of traffic without pausing, usually to get to an exit. Jersey Massage - Beating someone with your fists. #sociology
