Question for the Southerners!

[shinerbock]

Whats a southern type? Well, the south, like the north, obviously varies. The southern fraternity type would generally be well dressed, well groomed, from wealthy conservative families, and well mannered.

The Jersey type that I refer to, are generally the big jersey guys who love the shore, get in fights, and cuss every other word. They like to wear vertically striped shirts unbuttoned halfway down, and gel their hair before going to the club. I refer to them as "jersey" because they are often the ones who proclaim the greatness of NJ the most, and thus have become identified with the state and especially the shore.

WOWZA - Such a sweeping generalization! I could then say... No, I won't. I'll say that the type you've described, in my experience also found in Rhode Island, Maryland, MA, PA, NY and FL, too, are a minority (though I also find them irritating). I thought it had more to do with testosterone and youth than their state of residence.
