New York attitude

A staightforward, candid way of perceiving and communicating: friendly, {gregarious}, helpful, possibly in a hurry. Bullshit filters develop as a New Yorker matures, protection against the overwhelming, {ubiquitous} flood of endless words and images. Some N.Y. responses may sound {brusque} but it's a means of budgeting time. Being expedient.
The pedestrian and traffic patterns are as schooling fish; no one stays in a traffic lane and everyone moves at their own pace. New Yorkers are within reach of the best restaurants, finest museums and richest cultural activites, and they know that most out-of-towners are not. They're perceived as being cocky know-it-alls, people with a New York Attitude.

A secondary meaning is, it's used as code for Jewish culture, "behavior" "imtellect" and whatever other {stereotype} with which they choose to refer to one-quarter of New York City's population
Those rich Rosenbergs who just moved to town and opened the deli are wise asses who think they know everything - they sure have a New York attitude!

Zombie New Year

A Holiday created by angry White Anglo Saxon Protestants in response to all the fake holidays that other religions use to get several extra days off from work annually. This holiday falls on the first Friday after the first full moon of August, when the Zombies rise from their graves to raise havok & mayhem.

As a result, the human population tends to gather around sundown on Zombie New Year to throw large, wild parties, hoping their numbers & noise will scare the zombies away. Some people are known to get staggeringly drunk as a form of mockery against the zombie hoards.

At dawn on the Saturday following Zombie New Year, the initial zombies return to their graves, but any humans that they turned continue to walk the earth until they are put down.

It should be noted that, for reasons still unknown, an alcoholic stupor makes it harder for zombies to detect you and, if they do, makes it harder for them to turn you.
Last Zombie New Year, I got so drunk...
"How drunk were you?!"

"Oh, shit, he's a zombie!"
