Arnold's definitions
Sharply divided into North and South. The southern half of the county which is closer to the city is heavily population suburbs while the towns to the north are more rural. The "Southerners", like me, don't consider Northern Westchester to really be part of our county.
Somers and Peekskill aren't Westchester, they're in Upstate New York or the "hudson valley" or whatever you want to call it. And by the way, Lower Westchester is not part of the Hudson valley contrary to every travel guide known to man, the HV is somewhere upstate or something. Really, what do Yonkers and Poughkeepsie really have in common?

Get the Westchester mug.A region in New York State around the Hudson River north of the immediate suburbs of New York. Contrary to every travel guide I've ever seen, Lower Westchester is NOT part of the Hudson Valley, and grouping sophisticated metropolitan people like us with some upstate hicks is both insulting and degrading. Saying Mount Vernon has more in common with trailer-trash Monticello, NY than with the Bronx is absolutely absurd.
Let's clarify the many regions of NYS:
Noo Yawk - NYC, Lower Westchester county, and LI.
Upstate - anything north of White Plains.
Noo Yawk - NYC, Lower Westchester county, and LI.
Upstate - anything north of White Plains.

Get the schwarzenegger mug.Generally refering to someone short who is trying to reach for something but cannot quite grasp it. This is a broad term that can be used referencing short people, or if your friend is trying to get a girl that is way out of his league, or threatening to beat someone up who is 5X your size.
