boring and long in speaking or writing, wherein there does not seem to be much particular relevance or significance; as such is typically extolled by individuals who are oblivous and synonymously known as a gas bag, wind bag, blow hard, bloviate, etc.; or, otherwise, is expressed by a persons who is so over fraught with an idea that they are not able to explain it plain and simply.
Example 1: The President of the Board of Commissioners is a real blow hard, as it never fails that he has to stonewall through the entire meeting and grandstand everyone with his long winded sessions, not letting anyone have equal time to particpate or counter his position.
Example 2: She failed to get support from voters when she made a long winded presentation to the Board of Commissioners, instead of a well planned out and well considered offer.

I can't believe all of the things people have written here. Long Island can't be upstate solely based on that fact that is the southern-most part of New York. With that said, Most areas such as Nassau County and Western Suffolk County are not rural. Rural areas are hours from any type of city, having farms and acres of unused land. None of that is in any of these areas. I think that you people are just being defensive about where you are from. Nassau County is not an hour from the city. With traffic permitting, it is slightly over a 1/2 hour from the eastern part. I wont compare LI to Manhatten because Manhatten is Urban, but areas in queens are just as nice, and much nicer than areas on Long Island. We do have nice areas, but we also have bad areas as well. Areas like Hempstead are just the same as some parts of Queens, accept it.
stop being ignorant and labeling people from Long Island as "hicks," especially being that there are places in Nassau County that are under a mile outside of Queens.
