New York Minute

Traditionally it has meant in the blink of an eye.

But after 9/11, due to the large air play of the song New York Minute (by Don Henley, and covered by the Eagles) it has taken on the further connotation of "A Blink Of an Eye that Changes Everything." Cataclysmic.
A sudden accident that takes a life. Any senseless violence, or of course the 9/11 attacks themselves. But it can be a good event too. When New York legalized Gay Marriage, the media reported the event as a New York Minute - the signing of that bill would change the state forever.

New York City

New York City is a massive pile of garbage on America's east coast, and is thankfully downwind to the rest of America's citizens. It is the only city in the country that prides itself on being over-priced, filthy, and rude to visitors, yet out-of-towners still show up in droves.

Citizens of New York City are generally douchebags. They rarely take pride in anything they've accomplished in life, but rather where their mother happened to shit them out. People who no longer live in NYC will tell you how great it is (in barely understandable English) even though you didn't ask and couldn't care less.

As of 9/11/2001, apparently EVERYONE in New York City and the surrounding cities, or even people who had a layover there once, narrowly averted death by changing their travel plans that day. They usually tell this to everyone within earshot to score sympathy.

In summation, New York City is to be avoided at all costs. Furthermore, Hollywood should stop making lame-ass movies and TV shows there, because we're all fucking sick of it.

GO SOX!

New York City

Hmmm where to start...

Most played out city in America.

Used to be a cool, tough, blue collared type place, but now is overrun with hipster faggets thinking they're living a "real", "urban" life style by leaving their shithole town in Maine or Pennsylvania and going to New York with 8 of their fucking suburbinite beer pong buddies. They love pretending to be poor even though their parents are probably paying $1000000000 for their closet sized apartment in SoHo. Once they move there they think they have the rough city life figured out (even tho NYC is not real, or rough city anymore) and flaunt it in other places with true born n raised, hard working city people like Chicago, Philly or Atlanta.

Native New Yorker's try and hide this but everyone knows their city has gone fake and sissified, and that New Yorkers are bunch of pussies now. They fail to realize you're not tough when ur talking shit while wearing the latest in designer fashion, and while spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to live in a so-called new york "ghetto". White people spike their hair and wear skin tight clothes, black people skateboard, and "gangbangers" pay more money to stay in their "hood" than somebody in Philly or Chicago would for a real nice apartment in a good area. Yeah New York, real tough.
New York City used to be like a big version of Chicago, now it's a like big version of San Francisco, but natives are in denial.

Harlem native Cam'ron realizes how soft New York City has become, and is now representing Chicago and other Midwest areas on his new album for street cred.

new hyde park

short for Not Happy Place.

a town in the middle of long island, new york. probably one of the most boring towns in America. there's absolutely nothing to do hear-the epitome of suburbia. its just a few strip malls, a golf course, schools, pizzeria's, a park or two, etc. not that exciting. i'd say 85% of the people are either indian or italian. there's no middle school, just 4 elementary schools and one "high" school. everyone's extremely rascist and judgmental. this place sucks and as soon as i turn 18 i'm getting the fuck outta here...

Brand New Hate

Hating the band Brand New because they're so popular on the internet and among alternative music-listeners. Excuses for Brand New Hate could be "their lyrics are uninspired", "they're emo", and "they're generic". Usually a symptom of music elitism.
"Brand New? You like emo music? Talk about generic and uninspired..."
