Above the fray.
does Jersey use slang that New Yorkers and Philly dudes can’t relate to or does southern Jersey use Philly slang and Northern NJ use NY slang.

Does anyone in Newark say “Son” and “B” a lot?

Seen a video of a Newark dude using old nyc slang saying “word is bond”!
don't know about modern slang......but Jersey...and by Jersey I mean Newark......used to exist in its own world and have its own slang


STIFE=skinny as in crackhead skinny
HIKE= what other places call ranking, snapping ,jonin on somebody
SHOOTING ME PRISM= eyeballing somebody like you want problems

Never heard those terms outside of Jersey....in fact, the guy who played Bodie on the Wire..snuck in "stife" in his dialogue during a scene on that show and it made me smile. He's from Newark.

At the homecoming game, there was no more room in our section so I had to sit in the rival section. Dudes over there were shooting me mad prism as I went to sit down.

I’ve mos def never heard that before and I would say I’m mostly attached to people who live around Irvington lol.

I’m glad I made this thread!
