Rules of New Jersey (Newark, Kearny: shop, food, office)

[FredJung]

In south Jersey, it's a hoagie. In north Jersey it's a sub. Don't mix that up.

Same with Italian Water Ice in south Jersey and Italian Ice in north Jersey.

Newark is pronounced "N'ork" not "New Ark".

You have to be assertive and punch the gas when entering a highway. No one will slow down for you.

We (north Jersey/Bergen County) always pronounced Newark "NEW-erk", but my friends from Hudson County say "Nork". Delaware says "New Ark". Don't know how they say it in England, where the original one is.

It's just water ice in SJ.

When I moved to NJ, I remember having to explain that to out-of-state relatives. No, I didn't buy a bag of ice.

I concur. But I think in addition to us, most people pronounce newark that way.

Some people pronounce Newark as "Nork" but I never understood why that's considered proper. It's almost a derivitive of the Boston accent when you say it that way.

Hero is used more than sub. As in "ya gonna order the 6-foot Italian hero for the Super Bowl?"

Delaware says "New Ark".

Well, yes, when they're referring to Newark, DE. Newark, NJ is a different place, which we pronounce differently.
