New York 1/8th
A New York 1/8th refers to a common measurement for marijuana in NYC, particularly in the pre-legalization era of the mid-2000s. While an eighth (1/8th of an ounce) is traditionally 3.5 grams, in New York City, it was widely accepted that an "eighth" usually meant 3.0 grams—a well-known but rarely contested shorting of weight.
This was an open secret among buyers and sellers, a subtle nod to the city's hustle culture. Rather than being seen as a ripoff, it became an inside joke—a shared understanding between both parties that the NYC market had its own rules. Over time, the term evolved beyond just weed and is now used to describe any situation where someone knowingly accepts a slight shortcoming with a sense of pride and humor.
Whether you're reminiscing about pre-legalization pickups or recognizing a familiar NYC-style short, the New York 1/8th is a term of endearment, not a complaint.

Get the New Prague Limomug. The worst place to reside in Westchester, NY besides Yonkers. They will steal your tax dollars until you are broke and need to move out of your home. The migrants populate the area like it is going out of style. Somehow its only a 35 minute train ride from Manhattan. This will make your life difficult wondering where in New York Is safe to be. The hometown ecitizens aren't eligible for an apartment until all of the newcomers get them. The (people) need to take showers and stop showing up to the facilities like they came out of the swamp.

Get the New Rocmug. A School for all of the rich white kids whose dads tickle their assholes with all the privilege in the world. Believe it or not, they are actually good at something such as (Spending thousands of dollars on cars, Calling the police on anyone that's not white, Being entitled brats). But they are also not good at things like (Any form of physical activities, Being a good person, and having a personality).
Person 1: Hey new kid. Welcome to New Man Smith. How rich is your family
Person 2: Not very. We are going through a rough patch
Person 1: Get out
