16 words or phrases people in NJ don’t want to hear in 2022
In the last couple of years, we've been exposed to some new vocabulary, due in part to the pandemic.
Some words or phrases have just evolved with the culture. Many of these are embraced and melt into the lexicon of modern American language. Yet plenty of these new expressions are ones many people hope they don't hear again in the new year.
