A Puerto Rican from New York, that has more African-American urban culture than actual Boricua culture. Boricuas (Puerto Ricans from the island of Puerto Rico) have a strong dislike for Nuyoricans and wish to distance themselves from being associated with Nuyoricans.
How come that guy covered in the Puerto Rican flag can't speak Spanish?

Well he's a Nuyorican, He has 13446 flags but acts more like Jay Z than Luis Fonsi

May 15 Word of the Day
A few weeks ago, no one had “cheugy” in their vocabulary . Now everything is saturated with the word. It’s in our heads. It’s in our homes. Everyone is asking: “Am I cheugy? Am I a basic ass bitch? Am I GUILTY of being cheugy?”

The proliferation of cheugy in the mainstream discourse can only be attributed to one source: mental terror. It’s an orchestrated psychological trap to make you question your tastes and interests in the eyes of others.

You are not a cheug. YOU’RE PERFECT!!!!

It is very suspicious that the cheugy mascot is a Minion, a literal cyclops, a deformed
yellow panopticon in overalls ... do not let the all-seeing eye to control you. Be vigilant. Resist cheugy psyops.
Becca is another victim of cheugy psyops. I saw the garbage truck take all her Ugg boots yesterday. She even removed “I LOVE The Office!” from all her dating profiles. She’s unrecognizable.

n. 1: A person of Puerto Rican descent, but born/living in New York City. I.e., second generation and up Puerto Rican immigrants; a distinction between a Puerto Rican immigrant living in New York and a "Puerto Rican" who has always lived in New York.

adj. 2: Of or relating to Puerto Rican culture in New York City.

Sometimes spelled Newyorican. Can be used derisively, but shouldn't. Be nice.
It's the Nuyoricans who are really responsible for spreading reggaeton to the rest of the country.

A so-called “Puerto Rican” born and raised in New York and is a cuck to Afro Americans. They are brainwashed by these self hating Afro Americans into accepting their non-existent or minuscule African ancestry while rejecting the most significant aspects of their heritage. Nuyorican men tend to be cucks that like to sit in the background swoon over their 5-15% African blood while morenos slide off with nuyorican women. The nuyorican women tend to end up becoming a single mothers with an ugly baby on welfare hopping from moreno to moreno because no real Puerto Rican man wants a marked woman or she ends up getting an irreversible std.
Why do Nuyorican’s do so poorly education wise, fill up the jails, and are so welfare dependent? They’re increasingly getting darker and uglier too.

Because they breed with, act like, dress like, talk like afro americans

Nuyoricans are Puerto Ricans who live in or near New York city. The term is often used negatively by Puerto Ricans who believe Nuyoricans are Puerto Ricans who act more black than Puerto Rican, but the Puerto Ricans who use Nuyorican as an insult are usually the ones who forget that their ancestors were black and many Puerto Ricans are also black. Making them quite hypocritical and in need of learning their own history.
"Wow that dumb Nuyorican acts more black than Puerto Rican!"
"Well, Juan, maybe if you knew your history, you'd know Puerto Ricans are part black and that their are many dark-skinned Puerto Ricans out there. Try again."
