just when you thought this trade couldn’t get any better, he calls it taylor ham instead of pork roll.
The exit thing I think it odd. It's really only useful for people who I suppose live right off the Turnpike or the Parkway, and the reality is, even people who I know in those situations dont automatically first volunteer the exit they live off of instead of their town's name.
In any event, if you grew up in the country like I did, we dont really have exits in Hunterdon County, unless you count 78 I suppose, but nobody would ever say, "oh, I live off of exit 15".
Basically I think this whole exit thing is 90% Jersey stereotype, as I know few people who've ever spoken like that.
Yes, this is how I know of people to use the exits. Particularly if they live in a town right off the exit and not a shore town. Like they'll say ''I live in Stafford, down by exit 63'' or ''I'm in Wall Township, exit 98''.If you live on the GSP it’s very common. Since the exits are about a mile apart it’s an easy way to gauge how far away a town is.
You still give the town name but you supplement with the exit.
