New York 5-second warning

The red arrow that shows up on some New York traffic lights to let drivers and pedestrians know that vehicles aren't permitted to turn. Considered unsafe for drivers and pedestrians alike because five seconds is hardly enough time for a driver to make a complete stop.
Why can't the DOT make those red arrow signals at least fifteen seconds long?! I hate those New York 5-second warnings!

New York blues

The overwhelming feeling of despair felt by someone who has escaped from New York upon returning. Usually felt within the first hours of arrival or with the sight of specific landmarks.

Felt most commonly by those from downstate NY with family or business ties that keep them coming back.
Coworker: I hear you moved to West Virginia, nothing but hicks out there right?

Me: No, it's actually quite advanced outside of the worst of the hollers.

Coworker: But do you ever miss home?
Me: Already do since I drove out 19 hours ago.
Coworker: Wow, you've got the New York Blues!

Yorking

The act of letting your partner wash your butthole with peppermint soap. Followed up by spreading your cheeks in front of a fan!
After Aaron let his girlfriend cleans his hole with the peppermint soap, yorking in front of the fan felt like skiing down a black diamond slope.
