    If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

    South Jersey is crazy. It is literally like the South in parts. I'm from North Jersey but loved visiting the Pineys, Haddonfield, and other charming South Jersey locations. It's very farmy surprisingly and it's a world apart from my Bergen County lifestyle. I quite like it though, it's slower-paced, and there aren't so many jerks in Beamers flashing their lights for you to go 10+ over the speed limit even though you're on the right lane. They actually let you in if you signal too. I don't think I could live their full time, just not enough activity for me, but it's a cool area and it's fun to go down there just for a change of scenery and to be reminded about why we are called the Garden State

      You balance it out with all our fresh fruit and vegetables. New Jersey's official nickname is The Garden State. The sad part is all the people who fly into Newark, travel on the highways into NYC or it's immediate surrounding areas, and then fly out again. Their only impression of the state is the refineries along the turnpike, and they miss the best parts altogether.

      we get taught proper British English in school, but we speak more like Americans,
      in fact i've heard serveral expats from the USA say we sound like they should be able to understand what we're saying by how similar many sounds are, but can't, trips them up lol
      and just throw everything together, lots of false friends between the languages too, so there's a lot of Dutchified stuff that just butchers english even further (or is farther? i prefer to use further unless i'm specifically talking about physically looking in the distance, then it's farther to me)
      either way, i guess what i was trying to say is:
      we have really weird adopted figures of speech from just about anywhere in the english speaking world, and have this real thick accent and rhythm to it where we don't sing out the words, everything seems rushed and you barely hear when a sentence ends.
      it's just a free-for-all shitshow in spoken english (we are generally pretty damn good at written English and grammar though)
      but we know getting pissed means drunk in english, and means angry in american though, and seem to have an advantage in decyphering dialects and accents too since everyone butchers it in speech over here and we have a linguistic relation that sometimes helps us along, a lot of american people have problems with the scottish tongue when they speak english, but those sounds probably have the most similarities with our dutch tongue of all the english speaking world.

    • @firstinthedance
      @firstinthedance Год назад

      I live near Long Beach Island, and I used to work in an icecream parlor that also served Italian ices. I got requests for "water ice" fairly often, and that term always bugged me. It IS redundant - but it is pretty common. I've also worked in restaurants that served sandwiches, and I was amazed at the different names people used for them. Besides subs and hoagies, I've heard them called "Dagwoods", grinders, and wedges. There may be more. . .it has been over 20 years now since I've worked in restaurants, so I might have forgotten some.

    Jug handles make perfect sense because otherwise one would often be sitting still in right smack dab in the passing lane, which is especially bad in NJ where the de facto speed limit is often 15mph over the posted limit. Jug-handles are generally on four-lane roads with traffic lights (and not on freeways).

  • @lightanddarklove

    The three most prominent people I’m aware of that spent most of their formative years in Jersey all disparage the state, those being Voltaire (an indie musician who wrote 2 songs for the grim adventures of billy and Mandy), Kevin Smith (of Silent Bob fame) and Jon Stewart (former Daily Show host). You speaking so positively about the state is very much a change of pace in New Jersey discourse. I will say, I have limited experience in the state being I only went to a convention there a few times, but knowing that the population density is so high now explains why the roads felt so crowded.

    Central Jersey exists... There's this area that North Jersey considers south, and South Jersey considers north. That is in fact Central Jersey.
    And fun fact, if you live closer to the shore the question of "what exit" refers to the NJ Parkway, not the Turnpike.
