Well, remember, the above is not French. It's Creole, one of the many creoles that exist in the world. The colonial language in this case was French. There's also the Creole spoken in New Orleans, sharing the same dominant language.
Creoles have many different names; these retain (or maybe originated) the linguistic term (I need to LIU). The Jersey expressions look like a creole to me too, but since I'm not even really sure where Jersey is (unless they talk that way in the land of Whitman O'Neill), I'll reserve further comment until I've had some coffee.
