An acronym of New York City, London, and Hong Kong. First appeared in the January 28, 2008 issue of TIME, and it was highlighted on the cover of TIME's international editions.
"...the extent to which New York City, London, and Hong Kong, three cities linked by a shared economic culture, have come to be both examples and explanations of globalization. ... Understand this network of cities — Nylonkong, we call it — and you understand our time.” ('A Tale Of Three Cities', TIME cover story by Michael Elliott, January 28, 2008.)

Get the nylonkong mug.The chillest, laziest, and coolest girl you will ever meet. She has a fetish for using other people's Netflix and hates cheesecake. You could totally buy her with ice cream , Starbucks coupons, One Direction merch, and a Harry Styles poster, and by being totally high all the time. If you are a hot guy and like her, don't ever tell her. Become her best friend and she will keep you as her pet dog for rest of your life. Going out? Wear all black denim and eat panipuri first. Netflix and chill? get her a black hoodie. In short, she is totally adorbs.

Get the Nyon mug.From New York and LONdon - a trans-Atlantic commuter, usually in financial services, consulting, fashion, or media. A subspecies of yuppie with lots of frequent-flier miles and a tri-band cell phone.
Ken has been a nylon for about six months now - he's really racking up the miles. And the best part is, when he plays hooky, everyone thinks he's in the other office.
