You know that a WaWa is a convenience store. 12. You know that the state isn't all farmland. 13. You know that there are no "beaches" in New Jersey - there's "The Shore", and you know that the road to the shore is "The Parkway", not the "Garden State Highway". 14. You know that "Piney" isn't referring to a tree. 15. Even your school cafeteria made good Italian subs. And you call it a "Sub" not a "submarine sandwich" or worse yet, a "hoagie" or a "hero". 16. You remember the song from the Palisades Park commercials. 17. You know how to properly negotiate a Circle. 18. You knew that the last question had to do with driving. 19. You know that this is the only "New..." state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (like, try...Mexico, ...York, ...Hampshire - doesn't work, does it?) 20. You only go to New York City for day trips, and you only call it "The City". 21. You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH a fast food chain AND a fast food sandwich. 22.

You know that the first "strip shopping center" in the country is Route 1. 26. You know that people from 609 area code are "a little different". 27.
