I grew up in Bama and went to College in Ohio with several roomates from NJ. (If you are at FR I know that you are a decent person -not counting the trolls and I don't mean to paint all from NJwith a broadbrush) However, these guys were the most condescending twerps I'd ever layed eyes on. (My Irish Roomate from NYC was cool)
They thought Ohio was hicksville and that Bama was on the Far Side of The Moon. I always wondered why in the hell they left NJ? Anyway, at least they were seriously afraid of me and we did learn to at least co-exist.
That's a shame. This ex-Jerseyan went to the state of Indiana for college, and I found the state and the people lovely. Absolutely the nicest, politest people I've ever met in my life were out in the midwest. Never did quite get used to calling "soda" "pop" though.
Well that's what you get for going to college! :-P
There are twerps all over the world.
