One of the most misunderstood areas of our nation. Settled in 1638, the island consists of 4 counties, Kings (Brooklyn), Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk. Brooklyn and Queens are Boroughs of New York City and are therefore not generally considered part of Long Island.
If you are "dissing" Long Island and you are from Long Island, you are most likely from Nassau County, a stale, bizarre, and overdeveloped area full of strip malls and busy highways. It is the quintessential Long Island stereotype and unfortunately gives the rest of Long Island a bad name. If youre "dissing" Long Island and are not from Long Island, youre probably a young person from the midwest now living a hip lifestyle in New York City. You have never really been to Long Island, except maybe a friends parents home in Nassau County.
Most of Suffolk County is still very rural and has maintained much of its historical character and charm, though the integrity of these self-sustaining villages are constantly threatened by the encroaching Nassau County. Suffolk County is more like an area of New England as far as its towns and villages go. It is a very relaxing area and home to a plethora of outdoor opportunities and is a place full of culture and historical value for those who seek it.
It's very easy to write off Long Island as a suburban wasteland, and as a matter of fact...keep doing it because its getting too crowded for the people who love it here. :)

A dreary, 125 mile long sandbar that is home to some of the stupidest, most boorish rich idiots in the known universe.

A big tract of suburban h*ll east of NYC. Known for its abundance of guido f*ggots who invade Manhattan on the weekends and turn formerly hot clubs like Marquee and Lotus into B&T wastelands. People who live in "the City" (i.e. Manhattan, not Brooklyn/Queens, etc.) look down on people from Long Island as uncultured suburban tools that dilute Manhattan nightlife or pretty much anything else they manage to get their hair-gel stained, grubby hands on. Long Islanders wish they could live in Manhattan, but can't afford it so they pretend they hate Manhattan and have a lot of "Long Island Pride".
A bunch of guido douchebags from Long Island sporting blowout haircuts, XS Armani Exchange t-shirts, thick gold chains, and ugly-ass jeans from American Eagle stroll up to Cain/Pink Elephant, etc. The bouncer takes one look and announces to them that the club will be full for the next 2 years.
Me: How the f*ck did the B&Ters from Long Island find out about Cain? It's only been 1 month! Better start spreading the word that the Long Island plague is on its way...

you live "ON" Long Island... not "in" it
"yo, I have to go to my grandma's house this weekend all the way in Long Island.. it's gonna suck so much."
"dude, you mean 'on Long Island'.. get it right."

Most expensive, cold(figuratively), and unfriendly place on Earth. I mean if you're walking around VERY RARELY anyone says "Hello" or "Hi" to you. If you try to say hello people cry "sexual harassment." Driving here especially in the summer near the Hamptons, expect to get into an accident because people drive like they had 30 cups of coffee, plus a hit of crack. Finally houses here are really expensive, a piece of shit 4 room shack would cost you $500,000+. So if you're looking for a nice inexpensive place with friendly people to live, stay the fuck away from Long Island, or New York for that matter, try the rest of the United States or even the world.
In my 17 3/4 years on Long Island, I always wanted to get the fuck outta here, or kill myself, or both.
