Dialect for Dummies

While acronyms and specialized lingo are commonly used in today's language, Jersey Shore takes it to a whole other level. The cast has nicknames for everything.


The Jersey Shore Dictionary
  • B****: (noun) a friendly nickname female cast members call each other, unless a catfight has broken out. Then, you're just a straight up b**** in the offensive sense.
  • DTF: (adjective) an acronym that stands for "down to f***"; used when a cast member wants to smush with no strings attached, meaning they will have a taxi waiting downstairs for you once you two are done smushing.
  • Gorilla Juice Head: (noun) a tan, muscular male guido who uses steroids. In the most basic terms, Ronnie.
  • Grenade: (noun) an ugly chick. If the male cast members are avoiding you, odds are, you're a grenade. 
  • GTL: (verb) an acronym that stands for "gym, tan, laundry"; (noun) a lifestyle that allows one to maintain their guido appearance.
  • Pulling a robbery: (verb) to steal a DTF chick from another male cast member. 
  • Smush: (verb) to have sex, usually in a casual way.



One of our favorite Gorilla Juice Heads, Ronnie

  1. While their specialized language is cute and all, I feel they're dumbing down the dictionary. When I started watching episodes for this blog, I was a little confused when cast members used acronyms and nicknames. The show assumes you already know their discourse. I turned to UrbanDictionary.com to find out what these unofficial words meant.
