How to Speak Bayonnease

A little known town, just outside of Manhattan, nestled within the

boroughs of New York, Bayonne has an eclectic bunch of folk, these people

are the residents of Bayonne, known as the Bayonitte.

The Language of Bayonne is Bayonnease. We will now set forth to

defi ne subtle differences in the “American” language, and the language

spoken here, in this part of the world: Bayonne, New York.

In this study of a regional speak of the English (American) language,

you may fi nd that the words contained within these pages much like many

words that have been associated with the typical language of the modern

day New Yorker, proving that Bayonne is, in fact, the lost 6th borough of

New York, like a red headed step child.

This dialect may be considered “Soprano-esk”, so expect to encounter

shock & awe in this translation of a full frontal language. Please proceed

with caution, a sense of humor is defi nitely required.

Historically, it is necessary to inform the reader that back in the early

1800’s the people of Bayonne felt it necessary to separate themselves from

the State of New Jersey, chewed off their arm and dug out the Morris Canal,

in an attempt to turn Bayonne into an island.

It worked for a while, and Bayonne had almost completely seceded

from the state of New Jersey, until they were pulled back in, it was like

trying to get out of the mafi a.

As a matter of fact, NJ Mafi a members disapproved and the Morris

Canal was fi lled in, with the bodies of those that pulled this stunt, and

Bayonne was once again connected to New Jersey.

Damn it !
