What does GTL Mean? Jersey Shore Slang 101


What does GTL mean? After all, it’s now the season premiere of MTV’s hit reality show Jersey Shore and it seems as if the cast speaks another language. Besides the Italian Jersey accents, they have a lot of slang that makes some people who haven’t followed the show scratch their heads.

Well fear no more! GTL stands for Gym, Tan, and Laundry. Those, I presume, are three things that are important for any Jersey Shore cast member.

Although I am not so sure why they want to tan. They are on Miami Beach, so they will get plenty of sun just being outside. Heading to the gym seems futile too, as they could just run up and down the beach.

A funny thing happened on The View today. When asked if Snooki should run for mayor of Wasilla, Obama looked confused and stated he didn’t even know who Snooki was. Well, CNN called him out on it, as he made reference to the Jersey Shore cast member in his speech about health care reform.

Side note – someone writes Obama’s speeches for him. Just because he said it, doesn’t mean he came up with it himself. Like the man has time to watch Jersey Shore? He’s got two wars, millions of angry unemployed workers, and millions of gallons of crude to clean up out of the ocean.

Now that we wandered off the subject, I will bring you back to the point: In Jersey Shore speak, GTL means Gym, Tan, and Laundry. It’s late….so now I am going to GTS (Go To Sleep)
