What is the correct term for a person from NJ? (moved, people)

[NJDevil]

is it Jersey-ite, Jersey-an, Jersey-er? Nothing really sounds right. Thanks for all serious replies.

The correct term is... fantastic. I know this because I am from new jersey, and I am fantastic, therefore others from jersey are as well.

That said, Jerseyan and Jerseyite are both used and valid demonyms, Jerseyan seems to be more common.

I just say I'm a Jersey girl. People get it, or they don't...

1) Jerseyan
2) Jersey Girl/Boy
3) Uniquely Fabulous

All of these are correct and can be used interchangeably.
