last across the plank'ers

New residents to a gentrified area who want gentrification to stop as soon they arrive, so that the neighborhood retains its pre-gentrification charm. Derivation: to pull up the plank after you cross, thus preventing further access.

Those last across the plank'ers are angry about all the new bars and condos going up in the lower east side.

Good to eat
Great fun to find at Easter

up the highway not across the street

a form of suicide....cutting your wrists, the correct way to cut is up the arm, rather than across the wrist. UP the highway, up the wrist, ACROSS the street, across the wrist

if you want a good suicide result, go up the highway not across the street
