upstate new york

Any portion of New York State other than New York City and Long Island. Contains such "boring" things as the Finger Lakes, The Adirondak Mountains, large expanses of forest and farmland, a few relatively small cities, and numerous towns and villages of varying demographic levels. Not for those who have never left a city environment.

"Where do you live?"
"New York"
"Oh you're from the city?"
"No, I'm not. I'm from New York State"
"Ohhhh, you're from upstate"
"<groan>"

upstate new york

A horrifically boring place to live. The "line" between upstate New York and downstate New York is the point at which you believe the landscape becomes more rural than what you are used to, so various definitions exist.

You know how upstaters say there's more to New York than New York City? Well what the hell are they talking about?! I go to college at SUNY Binghamton and I swear, there is NOTHING HERE.

USATIAN

Another word to describe people from the United States of America. Other synonyms are UNITED STATIAN, USADIAN, USANIAN.
This distinction is stemming from the word "Estadounidese" which is a super common word in Spanish-Speaking countries (also Americans) used to specifically assign to a person born in the United States.

This geographically ignorant USATIAN doesn't know that Americans are also all people from Canada all the way to Argentina (or people from the Americas) and not only to describe folks that are from the United States.

I'm sorry for the etymology shock Bob! But it's ok for USATIANS to feel upset about this little logical factoid.

Hey! take your pick Billy boy! whether UNITED STATIAN, USATIAN, USADIAN, or USANIAN you gotta realize that's how you're called outside of the US, it's not meant to be an insult so there's no need for your angry rant! We're just being specific over here. Stop behaving like a crazy Murican!
