Yes, it is just pointing out a regional term where shore is used vs beach.
24 u/jitterscaffeine 1d ago I believe the arrows are pointing at New Jersey, correct? In reference to the Jersey Shore tv show? 21 u/BobBartBarker 1d ago Naw, not the show. We just always called it the shore. Way before MTV. 'Going down the shore' is 'I'm going to the beach.' I can't account for North Jersey but Philly and South Jersey are total shore ppl. -dude born in Philly but lived in South Jersey for a long time. 7 u/CriticalHit_20 1d ago Fun fact! It's actually illegal for New Jerseyans to call it a "beach" in public due to it sounding like profanity because of their accent. Unless you're a new New Jerseyan, of course.
