A long-time resident of the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia. One clue as to whether someone is a Yunker (pronounced Yoonk-er)is their pronunciation of the word Manayunk. Newcomers emphasize the first syllable (MAN-a-yunk) while Yunkers emphasis the last syllable (Man-a-YOONK).
How do you like your neighbors on Cresson St.?
I don't know. I've been there 6 months and they still haven't talked to me. They're real old-school Yunkers.

1) YES, it hurts me deeply to realize that Edward "yunkered" you at the poker game, and myself as well.
2) I "yunker" them, so they stay away!! Then I can paint and drink in peace.
3)'"Why are you calling me? You've been "YUNKERED!!!"'

If the Yunker is German or Austrian they’re really a Junker. Which were known to be royalty in the Prussian empire. The worlds first commercial airline was started by a Junker. Overall Junkers are known to be generous, truthful, and can spot a fake personality from a mile away.
