Upstate New York

Any part of the New York State aside from the five boroughs of New York City, which are, in order of importance: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island.

Nobody gives a flying fuck if you live "near The City"; Long Island, Westchester County, Rockland County, Orange County, Dutchess County, Albany, and the like are all part of Upstate New York State.

Massapequa is Upstate New York.
Riverheads is Upstate New York.
Nyack City is Upstate New York.
New Rochelle is Upstate New York.
Watertown is Upstate New York.
Buffalo is Upstate New York.
The Oysterbay is Upstate New York.

FACE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEOPLE FROM THE CITY THINK ANYTHING OTHER THAN NYC IS UPSTATE!!!!!!

upstate new york

Upstate New York is a cultural wasteland of social decadence. I pity the poor souls who failed to live in New York City and instead had to settle for the dull country life of upstate New York.

Anything north of White Plains.

Upstate NY Steak Game

A large, rare, 12oz New York Strip Steak has a small hole cut into the middle of it. The steak is slid down a man’s penis, and then a woman puts the penis in her mouth. The woman must eat the entire steak without taking the penis out of her mouth.

Wow, you look like you play the Upstate NY Steak Game.

Getting Kicked Upstairs

Un undeserved "promotion" given to a mediocre manager for the sole purpose of removing them from an important position. Often involves getting moved to a new or largely inconsequential role with little responsibility. Commonly given to well-connected white men who cannot be fired without some sort of consequence.

Boss: We want you to take over for Chad as regional sales director. We are moving him up to serve as Senior Director of Product Awareness.

Employee: Great! But what is that position. Will I still report to Chad?

Boss: Hell no. He's getting kicked upstairs so we can give you the role. I'm not even sure what he will be doing. We kind of made it up so he would stop fucking up important things. But we can't just fire the senator's nephew.

upstate new york

Noun. A place that isn't NYC and isn't downstate wigger-town. Filled with Hicks and half-witted douchebags who'd rather ride their "sleds" than have a nice chat about theories or do a crossword puzzle.

Me : *Pant, Pant, Pant*
Bro : "Hey, What happened?"
Me : "I said something bad about their tractors and *sleds* and all the sudden they started chasing me."
Bro : "Well, what do you exect, we're in Hicktown, UPSTATE NEW YORK."

upstate new york

A place that wishes it was New York City. People from Upstate often get offended when people refer to New York City simply as "New York" because it makes them feel left out.

Everything north of New York's suburbs is Upstate New York. UPSTATE IS NOT 'EVERYTHING NORTH OF ALBANY' b/c New York is the capital of the world and nobody cares about upstate, face it already!!!
