The lifestyle of washed-up people.
If Tupac was alive today he'd be reppin' Sud Life instead of Thug Life.
Mankees are native New Yorkers who have an incoherent sense of importance and ability. They believe that they are the reason why New York City is a great place, even though they haven't made any actual contributions to it. They usually have never left The 5 Boroughs but have a strong opinion that nowhere else is better than New York. They usually think that they are the toughest and smartest people in the room 99.9% of the time. Not specific to any particular demographic, as they come in all shapes, sizes, socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, ages, and races. It is a portmanteau of the words Monkey and Yankee.
One time a chick at the bar told me she could tell that I'm not from New York, and I said thank god because the last thing I want to do is be associated or confused with Mankees. Because we all know Mankees are delusional AF!
