craiging

the act of perusing Craigslist with or without purpose

I was craiging last night and this guy was trying to sell, not give away, but actually sell his used underwear and socks.

urban surfing

not holding on to anything while riding the subway train, when the train turns, stops, goes etc. you get jerked around and have to "surf" to maintain balance

derived from the natural position your body takes in order to maintain an upright position

can be both purposeful or accidental (e.g. children are often urban surfing for fun, while adults are forced to urban surf when the trains packed)

The other day these two kids almost knocked me over because they were urban surfing from 110th to 96th. Nobody can survive those rickety turns when the train cuts through the park!

The ride to Coney Island was so long that we were urban surfing just to pass the time.

boroughing

the act of traveling from one borough to another in New York; specifically from Manhattan to other far away lands such as The Bronx or Brooklyn; other boroughs don't actually count as nobody from Manhattan ever travels that far in a single day

Alesia and I are boroughing to Coney Island, so we have to leave at 6:00 a.m. and stay the entire weekend.

I was thinking of boroughing up to Target.
