Many New Yorkers are conditioned from an early age to believe that we are the center of the universe and that anything 50 miles west of I-95 is culturally boring, "flat", and has very little to offer. But I've been having a new experience recently...
1. A person of Puerto Rican descent (both parents) not born in Puerto Rico but born in New York.
2. Newyorkrican also can refer to a first born Puerto Rican child not born in Puerto Rico but in New York.
3. Newyorkrican is a special title give to Puerto Rican's not born in Puerto Rico. This is the only title recognized in New York and Puerto Rico. Puerto Rican's born in other states are not granted this special meaning for their specific state. Only New York is recognized!
4. All other definitions seem to degrade what a Newyorkrican is into a wanna be black person. This is simply not true. Puerto Rican's are Puerto Rican's by blood not just Island status. Sounds like Puerto Rican's are a little bit jealous of Newyorkricans.
Manuel was the first born child of a Puerto Rican family that moved from Puerto Rico to New York before he was born. He is often refered as a Newyorkrican because even though his parents are both Puerto Rican, he was not born in Puerto Rico.
Connecticut. A conjunction of New York and Massachusetts. Since Connecticut has relatively little culture to define itself, it is viewed by some to simply be an extension of New York and Massachusetts.
It also comes from the fact that Connecticut does not have any professional sports teams leading most fans to follow NY or MA teams instead.
He claims to be a Yankees fan but he's from Newyorkachusetts so if the Red Sox win he could easily go that way too.
