When in New York City, while it is raining and you are standing on a corner; a NYC Taxi passes by and splashes water from a large puddle onto you- soaking over 20% of your clothes.

A person who upon moving to New York is suddenly smarter than anyone, but with a smarmy attitude. An elitist.

This is a town where everyone has most likely heard about every single thing you've done since you were born. Girls are nicknamed booty calls here. Guys are pimps or gangsters. Most guys wear pants that could fit a whole party inside, so they can have a party in their pants. Every girl is considered a slut whether they really are one or not. No one can make a good living here mainly because all the drug dealers are getting caught. If someone has a nice car they are considered a drug dealer even if they're only a lawyer.

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.
