Really sick of transplants insisting those of us who have lived here for generations are somehow using the wrong terminology.

Another 3rd generation native here. I could have written this post word for word. Exactly my experience.

No. One. Cares.

You seem to care a lot, since you are still reading and commenting 7 pages into this thread!

Lol

I’m dropping in because I’m really amused that there are people who are so finicky about something this stupid.

Backpedal, make excuses, lie.

Sure you are, sweet cakes.

What a riot!

^ Flip Driscoll, is that you? No ranch references?!

Oh get over yourself.

- 3rd generation New Yorker who has lived here for 15 years, would never do this to someone who was a newer New Yorker, and thinks you’re a PITA

Hey PP, go back to NYC--oh yeah you won't b/c it SUX now.

Go away, MAGA. Sorry you can’t afford to live in Manhattan. I love it there; I’m only here for my job.

Oh honey, nobody wants to live in NYC but you keep believing the rest of the country is envious of you all

Damn, better tell that to the 8.4 million people who live there. Better also tell that to the real estate market, which is constantly ridiculously expensive, especially in Manhattan.

Montreal bagels are superior.

Actually, I’m a new poster. And I don’t eat bagels. I just figured you’d respond quickly. lol. I don’t understand why you haven’t answered the original question though since this is all so important to you. Why don’t you go back and read the original post?
