The show also made various references to a few other reality shows, “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” and “Jerseylicous”. I don’t remember if there were any “Cake Boss” references. As someone who has lived in Hoboken,NJ for the past five years, to me “yes”, everyone from New Jersey is either like that or like Kyle where it will come out given the right circumstances. They don’t think they are like that, but that’s because they think it’s normal. It’s like one time when I was getting a haircut on my way back from the gym (that sounded pretty guido). The girls in the shop are all “we ain’t all like that” while then proceding to tell some story about some cousin who broke her boyfriends jaw with a roundhouse kick for catching him with another woman. The Al Quaida ending was sort of flat and unfunny and lazy. Maybe they could have had Bon Jovi lead all the guidos into the ocean or threaten to kill Bruce Springsteen or something. ---

I’m embarassed for my state. No, we’re not all like that. I thought it was cute when Ike saw Sheila and Kyle in their Jersey mode and passed out. ---

Instead, the word “muff” is an inoffensive, slang word for a vagina. Muffs can range from dainty and tight to floppy and roast beef colored. For certain values of inoffensive. I mean, it’s no “c-word” but it’s probably only slightly less offensive than “pussy”. ---

Well, making it refer to pubic hair actually makes the phrase make more sense. You’re clarifying that you aren’t referring to the other type of muff. And, yes, I agree that it’s uber offensive status was probably a reference to cunt. ---

A muff is a hairy vag… you wouldn’t call a shaved vag a muff, a snapper maybe, but not a muff… there has got to be hair involved for it to be a muff… the more the muffier… ---

I’m pretty sure that was before all/most of the Jersey reality shows. Google it. ---

So “muff cabbage” means vagina vagina? Was it just me or were a lot of the Jersey accents on on the show (South Park) more like Boston accents? ---

Why was Kyle saying, “you have cabbage on your muff?” That would make no sense if both words meant vagina. ---

So then doesn’t it make more sense for muff cabbage to mean stinky vagina than vagina vagina? ---

Now that you mention it, yeah, I think that does make more sense. But cabbage can still be slang for vagina. 🙂 ---

Dunno, I thought this ep was horribly weak, one of the worst of the series so far, I’m sure if I watched Jersey shore or any of the other jersey based reality series I’d find it hillarious, but all I saw was a bunch of jerks and assholes being jerks and assholes I’m not in the target audience for this ep so it falls flat for me It almost seems that the cartman/snooki rape thing was a callback to Kurt Russell getting raped by the Christmas Critters in Imaginationland [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/south-park-10-13-10-its-a-jersey-thing-open-spoilers/557081.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/south-park-10-13-10-its-a-jersey-thing-open-spoilers/557081.md?page=3)
