 [ "Jersey Shortcut" ]

1: Jersey Shortcut – Second man in; or to “swoop” in on a situation where your buddy has already engaged in conversation with one or more women. It is not necessarily one’s intention to distract the girl your buddy is talking to, or to “CB” him, but to engage her friend in conversation as the “ice” has already been broken by your buddy. If, in fact, the girl your buddy is talking to seems more interested in you than him, it is acceptable at this point to make a move and potentially steal the girl away.

  * e.g.,  ... Example: Rob – Yo, check out those 2 broads over there… yea, the blonde has been staring me down since we walked in. Derek – Yea? …well then make moves son! Rob – I got this. Rob – Hey, what’s up.. you guys know of any good bars or clubs around here?
