[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a New Yorker, I had to leave the area to realize that not everyone holds conversations - especially informal ones - with both parties kind of talking at the same time. We don’t have any trouble following along. So we find it really frustrating when other people need to say Every Darn Word in silence and then we can resume the conversation. Most sentences contain a ton of filler and the meaning is clear from the context. You call us interrupters and we think you’re conversation killers. So the “yeah yeah yeahs” are just.a way of saying “got it”. [/quote] This is a great explanation for why people say New Yorkers are rude.[/quote] It is rude and low class. My father was raised in NY and never interrupted. [/quote] You’re either slow or think what you have to say is so important that everyone needs to stop in order to listen to you.[/quote]
