Also a
general name for
natives to the
pine barrens of
New Jersey. Pineys have a lot in
common with
hillbillies, as they are thought to be
simple minded and
crude. Though usually
residing in the
woods, away from
civilization, Pineys can be spotted at the many
blueberry and
cranberry festivals that are
annual events here in
the sticks. They often
perform on stage at such
events,
entertaining festival-goers with
country,
bluegrass, and
folk music about the
Jersey Devil or squashing
frogs along the
dirt road with their
trucks, among other things.
Other piney activities involve hunting deer and building log cabins in the woods, where they live. You can tell a piney by his or her attire (usually plaid flannel shirts and jeans), and their accents, which sound curiously like a Southern drawl. Pineys are a funny folk, and are very much into New Jersey and the natural environment of the pine barrens.
