A staightforward, candid way of perceiving and communicating: friendly, {gregarious}, helpful, possibly in a hurry. Bullshit filters develop as a New Yorker matures, protection against the overwhelming, {ubiquitous} flood of endless words and images. Some N.Y. responses may sound {brusque} but it's a means of budgeting time. Being expedient.
The pedestrian and traffic patterns are as schooling fish; no one stays in a traffic lane and everyone moves at their own pace.
