Yonkers

Contrary to popular belief, Yonkers is one of the safest cities in the United States if you consider that Yonkers is about 200,000 strong. People who tout otherwise are disinterested in using logic and/or facts. To their credit, Southwest Yonkers (home of the lovely Schlobaum and Mulford Gardens) is absolutely brutal.

The city is coming around. With its perfect residence on the Hudson River (which is a great landmark nobody cares about), Yonkers is rebuilding the waterfront and looking to return to its roots when the city was tabbed, "The City of Gracious Living."

"Mulford Gardens is, by all accounts, a notorious public housing project: a cracking, leaking behemoth in southwest Yonkers that is teeming with crack addicts, reeking of urine, infested with mice and devoid of any soothing greenery or recreational space that its name might suggest. The rest of the city is quite nice."

Yonkers

A place predominantly known for its racetrack. Otherwise regarded as the "6th borough" of NYC (sometimes Jersey City/Hoboken is the 6th boro however.) For those of you not familiar with it, most of Yonkers is like Staten Island without the landfills; the downtown area is similar to Newark, N.J. Though located in notoriously wealthy Westchester County, Yonkers is largely middle and lower middle class and has little in common with the rest of the county and is probably more like New Jersey (Of course, this would have been an insult before the Sopranos made Jersey hip).
The two main ethnic areas are McLean Avenue/Woodlawn (Irish) and Dunwoodie (the Little Italy of Yonkers, where you literally can find people who look like they could be on Tony Soprano's crew). There is also an upper middle class area called Crestwood which doesn't like to identify with Yonkers.

Population 200,000
Area Code 914
Zip Code 107's

yondering

actualizing the yearning to adventure, to roam, to wander in an unspecific direction toward an indeterminate objective, usually over hill(s) and out of sight

After a marathon Lord of the Rings weekend, the trio of friends headed off. Returning hours later, bleeding and mud-crusted, one was heard to say, "Dude, that was a hella-survivor-savage yondering.

over yonder

One can see "down yonder", but one cannot see "over yonder".

I park my car just down yonder, but my house is actually over yonder, behind that hill.

yondernate

To go yonder, into the beyond, o'er the hills and into the hinterlands. Very commonly used in Atlanta to refer to all areas OTP, where ITP folk should never wander without damn good reason.

It can also simply refer to stumbling over to the next bar in a collective bender.

Darkhorse has turned into a popped collar bro kennel - let's run out on our tab and yondernate over to El Myr.
