To most out-of-towners New Yorkese is a foreign language, unintelligible without this handy dictionary. To help you get around town, this book contains dozens of words and phrases you won't find in Webster or anywhere else but New York City. New Yorkers say what they think and the way they say it is expressed in New Yorkese. It is blunt, straightforward and spoken at machine-gun speed. It gets New Yorkers what they want and it will do the same for you when you visit the Big Apple. Besides, it is very funny!

By davidlawter@world-wide-net.com (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How To Speak New Yorkese: A Handy Guide to the World's Most Improbable Language (Paperback)
This is your ultimate guide to understanding the twisted vocabulary of your native New Yorker. If you are a New Yorker it will make you proud. It is an essential guide for New Yorkers to understand themselves and a necessary survival guide for tourists. It is important to understand that when a New Yorker says, "Good mawnin'. Howawya?", he is being friendly. You'll also find lotsa Catlicks in St. Patricks Cathedral. The illustrations by Frank Marciuliano are hysterical. In fact, they are essential in understanding some of the words. A must have! `How to Speak New Yorkese' will show you that `the only way ta make it through a day in New Yawk is with a sensa yuma'.
