Translating the local dialect:
If you hear someone say “I am going to the Court House”, no need to worry about any legal drama. Â What they mean is “Cape May Court House”. Â This statement is interchangeable with “I’m going off shore”.
“Go play in the gully”. Â We don’t call them tide pools.
“Jimmies”, never sprinkles (well, maybe if referring to the rainbow version…but who really orders those??)
Ocean Drive = Avalon; Third Avenue = Stone Harbor. Â Likewise, Dune Drive = Avalon; Second Avenue = Stone Harbor.
The other day, I heard a tenant directing her children to the “Five and Dime” across the street. I told her she is dating herself  😉
