Show Your Jersey Pride:
Wear your Jersey pride on your sleeve (or your t-shirt!). Rock a Jersey Shore-themed outfit or subtly incorporate your love for the Garden State into your conversations.
Master the Art of "Over-the-Top" Jersey Gestures
This section focuses on fun, exaggerated behaviors, not on being genuinely disrespectful or inconsiderate. Remember, we're aiming for comedic effect, not actual relationship sabotage!
The "I'm So Over It" Hair Flip:
Master the art of the dramatic hair flip. Practice in front of a mirror – it's all about attitude.
