A city with a strange inferiority complex. People try to say they live somewhere else even tho there in Yonkers.
Sarah Lawrence College is in "Bronxville".
Crestwood is "Tuckahoe"
The northeastern part is "Scarsdale"
and the southwestern part is "really close to Riverdale"

a city so big the north and south are connected by a major highway. once a beautiful place now turned ghetto, both north and south. coyle pl, intervale pl, mclean ave, and caryle ave are all now hard. some of the north is still at its height, but it wont last very long, schools ARE laying off teachers and the board of ed is missing 600k. As someone once sed, take out staten island and make yonkers the 5th bourough of nyc, seeing as how it's about 10 minutes to manhattan (no traffic). Its still hot to hang out there because it is so commercialized.

A city that people in Westchester get lost in and say to themselves "This is actually part of Westchester?" Yonkers is becoming more and more like the Bronx every day, especially the neighborhoods to the south and to the west. It ranges from the end-of-the-Earth looking areas on Tuckahoe Road to lower middle class guido areas in the southeast to horrible ghettos in the Nodine Hill area.
Strangely enough, Yonkers and Scarsdale are both in Westchester County, but then again the destitute city of Newark as well as the upscale burg where Tony Soprano lives are both in Essex County.

What should be the 5th borough of NY
Incorporate Y-O and get rid of Staten Island, it has nothing in common with the rest of the city and it smells like Jersey

An exclamation used to express either how stoked you are about something, or used if something really bad has happened, usually physically. Commonly used by white boys who think they are gangstas, the word's origins are mostly unknown. All we know is that it was uttered by one of the wise men when Jesus was born.

It is also a song by Tyler, The Creator, and a city in New York
Example #1:
Man 1: Wow! I just won the lottery!
Man 2: Yonkers, dude! That's pretty sweet.
That fuckwad Jerry: Oh, good for you, hope it can get you out of your shit house
Man 1: Fuck off Jerry, I've been sleeping with your wife.

Example #2:
Man 1: Dude, I think I broke my leg. Can you see if the bone splinter is out?
Man 2: *Looks at leg* Yonkers, man! Your leg is fucked!
