A distinct brand of English spoken especially in the NYC metropolitan area, including the buroughs (excl. alot of Manhattan, full of transplants), Long Island, parts of upstate, and a great deal of New Jersey and Connecticut.
Those who portray it as low-class or ugly, forget that some of the finest speakers of the English language, including Robert Rinero and Christopher Walken, have thick New York accents.
Some features it is known for were previously common, but are now disappearing (such as pronouncing "girl" as "goil" which noone except very old men does anymore).
One of the most widespread features is pronouncing the "a" in words Kerry and carry seperately. Most Americans pronounce the short a in words like "carry", "Larry" "vary", and "marry" with an e, giving them the same vowel as "berry".
A slightly less common, but still widespread feature is an additional vowel not used in General American English, often written as "aww. In words like "caught", "long", "off, and sometimes even "dog" or "fog" are pronounced with the lips more rounded into an o-like a. Most Americans and Canadians as well just pronounce it with a long a, as in "father".
One feature that's still easy to find, but not necessarily the norm anymore, is r-dropping, as in other Northeastern US accents, pronouncing "here" and "there" "hee-uh" and "theh-uh". Many of those that don't drop the r at least soften it, or only drop it in some words while speaking quickly.

Get the New York English mug.You begin by performing 69 while standing; once you're finished & she swallows, you give the chick a WWF-style piledriver.
Note: it is very important to remove your equipment from her mouth before attempting a New Jersey Jackhammer so as to prevent a Guatamala Guillotine!

Get the New Jersey Jackhammer mug.a pleasant state of America that has many exciting attractions such as the Great American Kazoo Factory (in Eden), Niagara Falls, New York City attractions, and several Iroquois Indian reservations where you can stock up on gas and other stuff without paying a state tax (all the money goes back to the Native American community)!
Eveywhere I went in New York State I couldn't find a "I-heart-NY" shirt. I do love New York State, a lot.

Get the New York State mug.The act of defecating whilst ejaculating. The pressure put on the prostate by the passing fecal matter squeezes even more seminal juice into the simultaneous ejaculation. This creates a huge load of semen, which may or may not hit the person in the face. Said act is believed to have originated among pigeons from New Jersey. These pigeons had no control of their bowels and often defecated mid ejaculation.
