Definder - what does the word mean?

What is New york?

I am from New York. I curse a lot. I say mad instead of wicked. I like the YANKEES. I know what REAL pizza tastes like, and I know that a bagel is much more than a roll with a hole in the middle. They're sprinkles...not jimmies. I play BEER PONG not beirut. I judge people by what exit they get off the highway. It's not called the shore, it's the BEACH. Its a wedge or a sub NOT a hoagie! It's not New York City or Manhattan, it's 'THE' CITY. Two words...MOTHER FUCKER. I know that 55 mph really means 85. When someone cuts me off, they get the horn AND the finger."

i'm a new yorker bitch

New york - what is it?

Why do half the people on here not know how to spell Manhattan?

The proper noun "Manhattan" does not contain the letter "e."
Let's take a closer look: M-A-N-H-A-T-T-A-N.
Did you see an "e" there? No, you didn't! ...because it's not fucking supposed to be there.

Manhattan: good
Manhatten: bad

Brooklen? Statin? Kweens? Broncks?

I'm embarrassed that so many people that are supposedly New Yorkers do not know how to spell Manhattan.

When a stranger stares at you while masturbating and for whatever reason you can't leave, usually occurs in the subway. If not paying attention worst case scenario may result in being cumfaced.

Oh my god Carrie you are not going to believe this! Samantha got New yorked again on the subway. At least this time she avoided getting it in the face.
