As someone who as never been to NY, I am frequently amazed by what I hear coming out of New Yorkers’ mouths. They seem not to know anything outside of NY. (Notice I said “seem” not that they really do not know. I’m sure some do.)
A woman I know who is from Chicago, said when she was a girl at camp, a girl from NY asked her if she and another girl went to school together. She said, “I live in Chicago, she lives in Cleveland.”
To that, the New Yorker replied, “Right. So do you go to school together?”
(For those of you “in-town,” Chicago and Cleveland are a 5-hour or so drive apart.)
