Its actually pretty funny.

There are a few different accents in New Jersey, but absolutely no one from High Point to Cape May says Joisey. Yet, go out of State, tell someone you’re from New Jersey, and the first words out of every goober’s mouth is “oh Joisey” as if they’ve perfectly nailed the dialect.

On the central Jersey thing I guess it varies person to person. Grew up in Middlesex county and have always considered it as central Jersey. It’s definitely New York centric as opposed to Philly, but North Jersey to me was always, well… north.

Theres a short film called “New Jersey the Movie” where some guy goes around the state interviewing people and trying to determine the essence of the New Jersey identity. It was pretty clever. One of the things the guy did, based on his interviews, was map out the Giants/Eagles line, the pork roll /Taylor ham line, the sub/hoagie line and the shore/beach line. (they were all a little different)
