Bed-Stuy 

A 'hood in the BK. That is, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.

Short for Bedford-Stuyvesant. Only reporters call it that, especially when reporting news on gentrification or terrible murders.

Biggie Smalls, the Notorious B.I.G. was from Bed-Stuy.

It's pretty rough up there so it used to have the slogan:

BED-STUY DO-OR-DIE
A: Where do you live?
B: Bed-Stuy.
A: Oh. (slight terror)
