I enjoyed this a lot, but I was born and raised in NJ and never heard people say "Fuggedaboutit." In my experience that's more New York than New Jersey. When NJ officials asked residents to suggest new state motto a while back, Garden Staters instead proposed these: "Most of our elected officials have not been indicted" and "New Jersey: Now with 10 percent less toxic waste."
