Jersey's Best Slang — Why Do We Talk Like This?

April 16, 2025 • 46 mins

Our, uh, colorful New Jersey language unites us, even if the rest of the country doesn't know what the hell we're saying. Host Jeremy Schneider is joined by comedian and noted Bennie dissenter Allie Mae to break down all their favorite Jersey slang, from saltpepperketchup (7:34) and 20regularcash (14:42) to the more obscure Jersey Slide (16:29) and Goosey Night (22:38). They also bond over which New Jersey highway has not yet been lost to corporate America (13:36). Then Allie takes on our trickiest Garden State Gauntlet yet, identifying Jersey town nicknames (41:38). Email us!
