I watch it. Are there people who really act like this???? I'm guessing this group is just playing it up for the cameras - right?

Sadly, I have met people like that.

I'm sure the cast is playing it up, but it's not unrealistic. And my friends from college wonder why my friends from high school and I never go out to bars when I'm in town.

"Snooki" (WTF?) looks like a bonsai hybrid of Elvira and Christina Aguilera.

I also don't like when people proudly say they're Italian just because of their last name, but do nothing to appreciate their heritage.

As for the "salute" comment, I don't ever use that word so my apolgies for googling it and coming off as a fake Italian.

Thank you I have a friend who is a melting pot of nationalities and she'll claim whatever is on topic at the moment. St Patricks Day or drinking or red hair? "I'm Irish". Anything Italian "I'm Italian". I called her out on it one time and was like "NO. You are not Italian. You are a bunch of different nationalities so stop telling people you're Italian".

Bump Its don't work. Most girls actually know how to back-comb their hair to get that perfect poof. Snookies is kinda ratty looking.

No. It's called a poof.

Funny thing is, the Guido poof is well used by Arkansas sorority girls.

We've always called it the Fayetteville poof or the Hill poof. Anyways.
