staten island

A borough of New York city that's connected by the Verrazano through Brooklyn.
Most of the people who live on Staten Island are from Brooklyn and most are Italian. I live on the South Shore and alot of people here do own nice cars and possessions but that doesn't mean they dont work for them. I moved to Staten Island from a predominately Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn and its pretty similiar except things here are a little bit more separated which is a good thing, your not so on top of each other. But I keep hearing the same thing "all Staten Island is is slutty girls, spiky haired boys, tanning, and guidos." This is true for some people but not everyone, some people go tanning but you can't tell me that Staten Island's the only place where people go tanning, boys spike their hair but thats the trend here just like the trends there are in California or wherever. Some girls are slutty but that doesn't have anything to do with where we live it's just the way they are, there are slutty girls everywhere so you can't just blame that on here. And the main thing, Italians. Im Italian, I speak Italian, my family speaks Italian, I know alot about my Italian culture and so do all of the other kids on Staten Island that are Italian. Just because you show your culture doesn't mean you think your better than everyone else or that your showing off. The way we speak is not a Staten Island accent its a New York city accent. Growing up in Brooklyn and Staten Island I have a very heavy accent, it doesn't mean im stupid or incapable of intelligence it means that the place where I live affected the way I speak just like it does in other places like the South. Peoples perceptions of Staten Island are pretty much always negative and thats probably because some of the people who live here give it a negative reputation. Staten Island is actually a great place to live its located where the is more culture than you can imagine, its very populated for a small island but the houses and everything around it is nice, theres parks, boardwalks, museums, shopping and other things for the people here. I wouldnt reccomend coming here on vacation because its a place where there is not much to see but despite peoples opinions Staten Island is part of New York City just as much as Brooklyn,Queens, the Bronx, and the City (Manhatten). I would never move off of Staten Island even as an adult because it has that Brooklyn feel I grew up with with a little bit of the suburbs. If you ask me we got the best of both worlds.

State Chumps

1. A high school team (of any sport) that qualifies for the State Championship and acts as if they are God's gift to the world. They can usually be found bragging on Facebook or strutting around town wearing hoodies, sweats, t-shirts, and other articles of clothing with "STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS" written all over it. They are also blissfully unaware of the fact that spectators and a majority of their competitors find their attitude appalling. State chumps are the downfall of respectful competition.

2. Someone who wins a State Championship (individual or team title) and proceeds to broadcast it to the world. Usually someone who has won the title more than once and has become accustomed to wearing it on their sleeve.
Variations can include:
-League Chump(s)
-Conference Chump(s)
-District Chump(s)
-Regional Chump(s)
...the list goes on.
1.
Person 1: "Wow, the Northview cross country team is warming up in matching State hoodies. Were they State Champs?"
Person 2: "Nah, they're just a bunch of state chumps."

2.
