> [@Giraffe](#): > > Can we replace it with a different restricted word list? I for one would like warnings to be given to anyone who says “bennies” or “brosef”. Why _bennies_? What else can we near the Jersey Shore call the New Yorkers that descend upon our beaches every summer? Or does bennies mean something else to you? Also, do people really say \*brosef \*and what does that mean? ---

Slang for job benefits, i.e. healthcare, vacation, 401(k). I don’t know why it rankles me, but it does. And people from New Jersey have derogatory nicknames for people from other states? Huh. ---

Well only NY, I mean Massholes is common to most states in the North East. It isn’t used often in NJ. But so you understand, it is not actually all New Yorkers but the ones that act like those portrayed on the Jersey Shore and the adult version of said. There is an actual wiki article on it if you like: [Benny (slang) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_(slang)) The term also include some visitors from North Jersey. ---
