Why is it weird to say "not" in 2011? I hear this dozens of times every day.

If I have to tell you....................... You've lost already.
Maybe it's just a South Jersey thing.

I'm proving your point because.... what I hear people in a university setting say on a daily basis isn't a solid basis for how people talk? I don't think so.

You and KONY are literally the same person, you just choose to antagonize different people.


OP, you're missing the shore, good food, the fact that every store or restaurant is within a 10 minute drive, being around people who tell it like it is, and access access access: the 1st and 5th biggest cities in the country, beaches within 50 minutes, skiing 2 hours away, the nation's capital within 2.5 hours, vinyards, caves, hiking, major league and minor league sports, I could go on and on.

Call me what you want............................. But I haven't heard anyone say "Not" in a serious manner in many, many years. You can be as offended as you'd like by that; it was an honest observation.

Alright, my bad then, I thought you were giving that poster a hard time just for the sake of it.

After spending my entire life in NJ, I moved to Delaware a year ago.

Things I miss:

Good pizza
Good take out chinese food (I order mine from Maryland!)
fresh bagels
Taylor Ham (some places here stock 'pork roll', the big thing here is Scrapple)
Being able to get to the ocean in 15-20 minutes (lived in coastal Ocean/Monmouth counties most of my life)
Wegmans

Things I don't miss:

Massive congestion
Crazy high home prices and property taxes
Massively congested roads
Overcrowding everywhere (beaches, malls, parks, grocery stores, etc)
Higher prices for almost everything!
Sales tax!!!
Ridiculous political corruption
Rude people everywhere

You'll notice most of the things I, and most former New Jersians, miss.... is food related. NJ has some awesome food!

But, since the majority of Americans are overweight and should be dieting anyway.... the awesome culinary arts of NJ are probably best avoided, right?
