This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Wtf does transplant mean in this context?
Non-native New Yorkers. Native New Yorkers can be pretty snobbish about this. I lived there for 28 years (long enough to develop an accent), but whenever a native New Yorker found out that I wasn’t born there, I’d get that pause in conversation and a sad “oh…”
Perhaps it’s a compliment that most native New Yorkers just assumed I was also a native. Although I don’t know what sort of compliment that is.
I thought this was about organs at first and lost it at "We have such a bad rep. We've taken so much."
More organs means more human
New Yorkers when they're presented with the idea that New York isn't the center of the universe.
I think if you were there for the disaster in 01, you're in the club.
