    I am a native Manhattanite, and proud of it, too. I was born and raised in the city. I love the diversity of New York people, and the cultural richness as a consequence. You know what else I think is great about growing up in NYC? The great accent it gave me. When I moved to California in 1975, so many people got a kick out of it. I thought nothing of it until then, because everyone I knew all my life spoke the same way I did, and it came so naturally, too! (LOL) So keep "tawking," New Yorkers, because you have a very special accent and way of expressing yourself.

Never heard anybody from the Bronx, refer to Manhattan as the City, in the 60's, 70's or early 80's since we considered all 5 boroughs the city, so calling it that would've been whack to us, it was hangin in the "Hat" or Downtown back then

    You omitted some NYC staples ... potsie (hopscotch), eggcream (the drink is traditionally made with Fox's U-Bet Syrup, milk, & a couple of long spritzes of seltzer ... they are icecream sodas minus the icecream), skellie (a sidewalk game played with bottle caps), stickball (similar to baseball, but played with mop handles), two sewers (the traditonal street playing field in stickball ... three sewers is generally a homerun), spaldeen (a rubber ball), a two-cents plain (seltzer), and a melaroll (a cylindrical icecream, placed horizontally in a cone ... but I haven't seen any melarolls for many years). There's also the Charlotte Russe (a cardboard cylinder containing cake, jam between the layers, a lot of whipped cream on top, and a cherry placed on the pinnacle. Sometimes brandy is put into the cake). The Charlotte Russe is almost always served with a wooden dixiecup spoon. They serve them elsewhere, especially in France, but I think NYC is the only place where they are sold as a handheld, walkaway desert. In some sections of Brooklyn, beef is a synonym for putz or schmuck, from the anatomical standpoint.

One word you missed is "agita" the Italian word for "heartburn" or "grief." Sure, there are Italians in all 50 states who know this word, but NYC is the only place in America where EVERYONE knows what it means. This is also why there are so many Yiddish words on your list.

      Before Ebonics, I used to can tell where a Black Person came from when they talked (New Yawkaz talked fast & proper back then) you would've been clowned for Dawg, Skrimps, Curr or Corr, instead of Car etc ...

      Gary Tisdale hi! You have a point but my opinion differs and I will tell you why. My family is from the south and moved up here when the migration started in the late industrial years. My family started in the 30, 40’s and 50’s looking for work. My family settled up “north” in The Bronx, Harlem and Brooklyn. My immediate settled in the Bronx. The accent changed by the different sounds we lived around. And I promise the eastern southern sound, does not sound like this! And yes I went down south in the summers and they thought I sounded proper and then worked in the city and looked lat me like I sounded I’ve never been out the hood 😂. Dawl, Dawg and umpire instead of empire were words with those sounds like New Yawrk ( there’s always a slight r) were already here. From the Italian, Irish and Yiddish and other communities around. I’m sure some were made fun of by there deep country sounds like those now a days from other countries and states. Some lost some of the sounds and kept some of the words. And it does matter what borough your from because there are subtle (sp? Don’t judge me haha)differences from one borough to another. But the southern in the lingo has been before the south got there dues in when it came down to hip hop. Shoot... I see people from other countries saying fittna’ and some other southern words. One thing rings true. New York has an accent filled with sounds from all over the world and I enjoy it immensely. I had super who spoke English and my mom didn’t understand his deep accent but I did. . I was interpreting accents. One of the only states I know that this can happen. Oh and one more thing. 😂 I don’t say Plantano’s or Plantains. I say Platins. Plat a old school words for single braids and in’s. Haha. I don’t know why. But no one ever questioned it from the Chinese to the Spanish “restoraunt ” hahaha Eatin on my stoop.

    “Excuse me” has several different meanings in NYC.

    2. “Did you really just say that?”
    3. “Thank you for correcting me, Mr. Smarty Pants!”
    4. “You think you’re something, dontcha?”
    5. “I am so outta here.”
    In the rest of the country, saying “excuse me” is a way of being polite. As indicated above, that’s NOT what the phrase means in NYC. The New York version of “excuse me” is a quick “Sorry” or “What do you want from my life?”
