We in Brooklyn also know what that means, lol:
Did you eat yet? No, did you?
A lot of Joisey people were originally from Brooklyn.

-laughs- True, true.
But only people in the city say "Joisey" specifically bronx/queens area.
I've never heard anyone from jersey say 'joisey' but it'd be cool as shit tho.
