Lower East Side

Traditional immigrant sector of Manhattan. The most "New Yorky" part of The City. Has great local color and a great place to be from. Unfortunately, becoming gentrified and taken over by corny white boys from the outlands. Can be very dangerous in parts, but you get over it.

Ah, crap, that block of East 7th is all under renovation.

Baltimore

The armpit of the East Coast. A murderous stinkhole that you just pass on your way to DC or Philly. A place where the Velveeta is kept in the gourmet section.

That Baltimore place is better known as Shit City. Don't go, cuz you may not get out alive.

borax

Yiddishism: cheap, poorly made junk. Originally referred to furniture; now, any overpriced junk. Crap.

'Oh my gawd! They're asking $69.95 for this borax?!'

Yinglish: A cover word for "shmuck."

That Maude is a real shmohawk.
