Turnstile Leech

Someone (usually a black guy) who hangs around the subway turnstiles pretending to "check the balance" on his blank Metrocard that he probably found in the garbage-uses this as an excuse to loiter near the turnstiles-asks everyone who comes along if they can help him out with whatever

Hey look at the turnstile leech pretending he's checking his Metrocard balance. I ain't giving him shit!

Turnstiles

A 1976 studio album by American singer/songwriter/pianist Billy Joel; has several now famous standards like ''New York State of Mind'', ''Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway'', ''Say Goodbye To Hollywood'', and ''James''.

People think the Stranger is the best, but Turnstiles is clearly an underrated gem.
