You Know You're A New Yorker When...

You say "the city" and expect everyone to know that this

means Manhattan

You secretly envy cabbies for their driving skill

You have never been to the Statue of Liberty

or the Empire State Building

You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from

Columbus Circle to Battery Park at 3:30 on the Friday

before a long weekend, but can't find Wisconsin on a map

Hookers and the homeless are invisible

The subway makes sense

The subway should never be called anything prissy, like the Metro

You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language

makes you multilingual

You think $7.00 to cross a bridge is a fair price

You've considered stabbing someone just for saying "The Big Apple"

Your door has more than three locks

You go to a hockey game for the fighting.

Your favorite movie has DeNiro in it.

The most frequently used part of your car is the horn.

You consider eye contact an act of overt aggression.

You call an 8' x 10' plot of patchy grass a yard.

You complain about having to mow it.

You are a skee-ball juggernaut.

You consider Westchester "Upstate".
