...mluví anglicky (možná, nebo taky španělsky), stravuje se ve fast foodu, věčně někam pospíchá... a tady asi se svou představou o typickém Newyorčanovi končím... Urban Dictionary ale opět nezklamal a nabízí pěkně vypečené definice :) Přejí příjemné počtení, dnes část první...

"In reference to the city, let's just say that you know you're from there if any of the following apply to you:

  • You say "the city" and expect everyone to know that this means Manhattan. 
  • You have never been to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building.
  • You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park at 3:30 on the Friday before a long weekend, but can't find Wisconsin on a map. 
  • Hookers and the homeless are invisible. 
  • The subway makes sense. 
  • You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual. 
  • You've considered stabbing someone just for saying "The Big Apple". 
  • The most frequently used part of your car is the horn. 
  • You call an 8' x 10' plot of patchy grass a yard. 
  • You consider Westchester "upstate". 
  • You think Central Park is "nature." 
  • You see nothing odd about the speed of an auctioneer's speaking. 
  • You're paying $1,200 for a studio the size of a walk-in closet and you think it's a "steal." 
  • You've been to New Jersey twice and got hopelessly lost both times. 
  • You pay more each month to park your car than most people in the U.S. pay in rent. 
  • You haven't seen more than twelve stars in the night sky since you went away to camp as a kid. 
  • You go to dinner at 9 and head out to the clubs when most Americans are heading to bed. 
  • Your closet is filled with black clothes. 
  • You haven't heard the sound of true absolute silence since the 80s, and when you did, it terrified you. 
  • You pay $5 without blinking for a beer that cost the bar 28 cents. 
  • You take fashion seriously. 
  • Being truly alone makes you nervous. 
  • You have 27 different menus next to your telephone. 
  • Going to Brooklyn is considered a "road trip." 
  • America west of the Hudson is still theoretical to you. 
  • You've gotten jaywalking down to an art form. 
  • You take a taxi to get to your health club to exercise. "
