  • So helpful! Thanks, bud :)

  • More popular greeting from New York than any of these is "Hey." usually accompanied with the inverted nod. Almost as ubiquitous is "Whassup" or more commonly, "S'up?"

    As for good byes, "later" is the most common one I hear.

  • @Orbit283 go to 34th or 42nd and you'll see why lol People in NY move at a quick pace so when tourists walk around and take pictures they usually do so in a slow fashion and are sometimes unaware of other people around them which is not exactly the coolest thing when you're in a rush to get somewhere. But contrary to popular belief we are friendly, so visit! :)

  • How bout "Later"? Is that condescending, or can you use it as a good bye to friends?

  • I like watching your videos. You sound like a 1920's mafia. Hehe.

  • The correct plural for you is ye. But if you use that you start sounding like a shakespearian actor. You may as well be using the informal you: (thou, thee, thy, thine) which is no longer in use either. So I guess yous is a more acceptable plural of you than ye.

  • BUT it's the best city in tha U.S.(can't say the world bc I've never been outside the country smh), you may not like it at first, OR you may love it, but either way, you'll get used to it...hopefully lol....ENJOY!!!

  • For everyone who's moving to NY you'll see why we keep convo's short...BUSY life, ESP in the city...most likely you're in a rush, whether it's bc you're actually late for something, or just trying not to get ran over. Having a convo with someone is kind of hard when you're amongst 10 million ppl, 10 million agressive ppl at that. But the whole "RUDE" thing is a myth. Rude ppl are EVERYWHERE...I've lived in Atlanta and met FAR more assholes there than in NY

  • That nod is used where I live, Edinburgh, either that or "Orite?"
