A city with a strange inferiority complex. People try to say they live somewhere else even tho there in Yonkers.
Sarah Lawrence College is in "Bronxville".
Crestwood is "Tuckahoe"
The northeastern part is "Scarsdale"
and the southwestern part is "really close to Riverdale"

Get the Yonkers mug.Just a few decades ago, the Bronx landscape used to be pretty different; now the same can be said for Yonkers.

Get the yonkers mug.A native of 1 of the many semi-rural mill towns situated in the Pennine region of northern England. Yonners can be found in a number of counties, namely: Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cumbria, Derbyshire and in the more upland areas of east Cheshire.
The term 'Yonner' equates with the Scouse term 'Wooley Back'.
TV shows such as: The League Of Gentlemen, The Last Of The Summer Wine, Emmerdale, Where The Heart Is, Heartbeat, and One Man And His Dog, all feature Yonner characters. Even Coronation Street, although set in the more urban City of Salford, features an overwhelmingly Yonner-voiced cast (Deidre Barlow and her mother, Janice Battersby, Fred the butcher, Digby the baker, Sally Webster and Vera Duckworth, to name a few...).
Yonners speak like farmers, wear short sleeved shirts without a coat or a jumper in the middle of winter, drink plenty of Skol lager (like their ancient Viking ancestors), partake in bloodsports, are educationally subnormal, and either shout or mumble when speaking. They are also very adept at peddling bicycles up steep, cobbled streets.

Get the yonner mug.a city so big the north and south are connected by a major highway. once a beautiful place now turned ghetto, both north and south. coyle pl, intervale pl, mclean ave, and caryle ave are all now hard. some of the north is still at its height, but it wont last very long, schools ARE laying off teachers and the board of ed is missing 600k. As someone once sed, take out staten island and make yonkers the 5th bourough of nyc, seeing as how it's about 10 minutes to manhattan (no traffic). Its still hot to hang out there because it is so commercialized.

Get the South Yonkers mug.supposedly the best high school in yonkers. people think its the best school, but there are fights almost everyday. it has an IB program that most people take in 11th and 12th grade but it takes most of their life and time away. its also shared with a middle school which isnt the best thing. most people are rude and think they got clout because they're on the soccer team or they juul all the time.
