You can translate the language they speak in New Jersey. For example:
(wooder) = H2O, that clear wet liquid stuff. Although "wooder" is the most common South Jersey pronunciation, some pronounce it "worter."
(crown) = As in the famous Crayola Brand. Some South Jersyians refer to any of the sixty-four shades as "crowns". Some people may get confused when they go to color the king's crown with the blue "crown".
(Flarda) = The home of Mickey Mouse and pals! People in SJ tend to pronounce the "o-r" as in the word "or" as "r-r" as in the word "are".
(areange) = Would you care for a banana or an orange? This is the same case as the pronunciation of the word Florida. The "o-r" sounds more like "r-r".
(dawg) = Many New Jerseyians insert an "aw" into this word. In most cases, referring to the pooch by its given name would sound much better, unless of course his name is "Oggy Doggy."
(rewt) = A specific line of travel one takes when trying to reach a certain destination. Some do say "rewt" but just as many say "rout," which sounds like "out."
(tail) = The item you use to dry yourself after you "get a shower". This is one of those words in which you can hear nasal South Jersey twang. It is more pronounced in some than in others.
(chocklit) = Nestle & Hershey, those yummy candy bars. Has anyone seen that older commercial for Nestle's Quick? I think it had a little brown "daawwwg" puppet in it. It went like this: "N E S T L E S, Nestles makes the very best "chaaawwwwwklit!"
(keller) = Such as in rainbows, paints, & crayons. These make our lives so much brighter.
(cawfee) = The brown rich delicious aromatic blend that we mix with "wooder" to get us going in the morning. This word is kind of like "dawg." Some draw it out more so than others.
(sossedge) = Most say "sossedge;" however, a good amount also say "saaawwwwsedge," just as they say "dawg" & "cawfee."
