That culture of serious ball busting isn’t very common in the south.

It felt nice.
Oh, dude, I'm well aware. I've been very sarcastic with my friends who moved down south or out west and other people look at me like I'm a HUGE douche. They don't realize that we've been friends for 20 years and that this is just how we talk to each other because we love each other. We express that love by constantly insulting each other with low key deadpan insults all day. It's how we show affection.
Other people are so genuine and reserved that they just think we're all assh*les. I think that's where the stigma of NJ comes from. The inability to understand "bustin' yah balls".
It doesn't work however if we're not friends. As mentioned in above story of mine. It's a fine line but one you do not cross.
