Piney
-
A person who lives in the [Pine Barrens] of Southern New Jersey and is given to wearing unbuttoned flannel shirts with Lynyrd Skynyrd or Molly Hatchet tour shirts underneath. Most frequently sited in Southern [Ocean County] and environs. Known for yelling, [Freebird]! whenever they are in the audience at a live concert in the hope that there are other Skynyrd fans there that they can hook up with to drink beer and fight with later. To date, no band has actually ever played Freebird at the request of a Piney.

Southern New Jersey term for locals with a long history of living in the area-the originals some say. Direct decendants of the orginals families that settled the area. Many Piney have made a living off of the land by farming and hunting or [off the water] by [claming], fishing. Some have been boat builders and wood carvers. Many have participated in the local blue grass music scene. Part of a rich historical tradition not understood or respected by some arrogant newcommers. I was a [city slicker] 40 years ago but those of us who respected the locals assimilated better. Pineys have plenty of reasons to be proud.
