New Jersey definatley has different ism's and accents depending on what part you are from. for examapl - I originally came from Ringwood and we called the night before halloween, "goosy night" and when we moved south..ok closer to Rt 80 : )), they called it "mischief night"... how posh I thought : )) Any other deviations?

Taylor Ham (just kidding,lol)
Sliding Pond - ok, this is a bastardized version of "Slide Upon" - you know, a slide?

Flatleaver? I'm 43 years old! <---Just for reference
I grew up in Highlands and when the city kids would come down for the season, I would love hanging out with them because they had better toys, more fun stuff to eat and at 8 or 9 years of age, the other Highlands kids would call me a flat-leaver because I would hang out with my "new" friends.
It could be just a Highlands thing as Kevin Smith used that term in "Dogma".
