Went from contentders, to cocksuckers, when A-Holevision bought the Knicks, and the Rangers, from Dave Checketts. Both teams would never be the same again.
Hipsters and wannabe urbanites who move from suburban wastelands to NYC believing they will make it big in business, Broadway, or some other NY industry. Eventually, these mid-western suburbanites leave NYC generally after 1-2 years, after they realize they can't take the fast paced culture of NYC, get frustrated, and move to a more laid back city out west (Los Angeles, Seattle, or even back home). Those who expire are generally replaced with another hipster-suburbanite, who will eventually reach his/her expiration date, and the cycle continues.
Hipster E. village kid from Washington: Hey wheres Thom?
Hipster from Idaho: Oh, ya, Thom reached his New York City expiration date, he Got the F*** out before he reached his breaking point.
Metropolis; the biggest city in the United States and one of the biggest cities in the world. The financial and economic capital of the United States and the Western Hemisphere. Like any other city, whether its visible on the surface or not, there's crime, poverty and excess in New York City, alongside some of the wealthiest people in the world. It differs from other cities in the US in that the cityscape is more of a contiguous metropolis than Los Angeles, Boston or Chicago. Residents are (surprise surpise) very proud of their city; they have a reputation for being rude, arrogant and boisterous but it is a stereotype that doesn't hold true in every circumstance.
New Yorker: Yeah NYC is the greatest city in the entire fuckin' world and dont you fuggetit
Me: Yeah I was in New York City in 2003 and I was flying out of Newark and the sky above NYC was green
A dubious sales technique where an apparent reduction in an unrealistically elevated price is offered to the naive by fast-talking sales people. The method is practiced irrespective of the product, service, industry, local, or legality.
The sales manager was going to chew out the salesman for discounting the price so heavily until he realized that the customer had only been given a New York discount and the final price was still 10% higher than retail.
A devious hypothetical that requires a man to pick between performing the actions of One Guy One Screwdriver or having their balls jumped on 10 times, shot with a paintballgun 10 times, and tazed 3 times all while on camera
I was trying to sleep but my homie rolled over and gave me the New York Hypothetical and completely ruined my night
