An island in the north Atlantic. Home to Billy Joel, Jerry Seinfeld and Alec Baldwin. It's a diverse place consisting of Nassau and Suffolk counties (Suffolk is far superior.) Ranging from rich white suburbs like Oyster Bay ("meet the parents" was set there!), Great neck and Port Washington to poor "hood" towns with the word "hood" in them like Riverhood, Hoodlum Bays and Brenthood as well as vacation destinations like Southampton and Montauk, gay hotspots like Westhampton and places where upper middle class artists and hipsters take over like Greenport.
You get around using the LIRR, you drink Coors light out of a paper bag and you need to change in Ronkonkoma if you're on the North fork and in Babylon if you're on the south fork and in Jamaica if you're anywhere else. If you're one of the lucky ones who lives on the east end, you get the luxury of taking the Hampton jitney.
You shop at King Kullen or the IGA. You go to "the city", not Manhattan and constantly claim to be from new York in order to seem cool.
Person 1: Wait, so you actually listen to Billy Joel?
Person 2: Long Island born and raised.
Person 1: ah.
Fuck me. Honestly, like why the hell did lil peep have to die. That’s all we got on this “Long Island”. Who the hell cares about Kevin James in his fake action movies. Dude, wtf was Paul Blart, mall cop. I mean the dudes funny af, but his tits are flopping around every time he runs. But anyway, Long Island isn’t part of the city. There are some burrows like Brooklyn, and Queens. Notice there I used the Oxford comma. See I’m not a dumbass, and not of us really are. Well, there’s always gonna be that one kid. But anyways from Nassau to Suffolk county is pretty much Long Island. I have a friend who used to live in Brooklyn and he said that it’s a lot different here. He Sayville shitheads have no idea what it’s like outside of here. He also lets me use the n word as well.
Dude who lives out of ny, “where do u live”.
Dude 2, “Long Island”.
Dude 1, “so u must have it tuff”.
Dude 2, “yea I guess when u live in a $500,000 ranch a block away from the water, yea I guess ur right”.
Beautiful natural scenery + Beaches. A LIRR ride away from NYC, Billy Joel, Cold Cheese Pizza, Montauk, Kings Park Psych Center, Fire Island Oysters (my favorite), Amityville Horror house, Alec Baldwin, Lindsay Lohan, Theodore Roosevelt, White kids with Lacrosse sticks, investment bankers, trust fund babies, irish + italian + jewish people .. . .. . . anything I am missing? OH and FUN FACT: Jaws was not actually based on Massachusetts! It was based on Long Island!
Long Island = (Lawng Eye-Lind)
A pretty sweet place. It can get kind of hectic in some parts, but it has the best food and beaches in the world.
long island is cool
Arguably the best commuter rail service in the United States.
Some one that is from Long Island.
Typically used to show u are from New York, yet not a real New Yorker. You will probably get clowned on more if u introduce yourself as a New Yorker, and then reveal your from Long Island, As if you would of just started of by saying ur a Long Islander.

Jones beach concerts
Long summer night with your best friends
The beach is 30 minutes away
Best beaches every
Ice cream for every meal
Only thing you wear are bikinis
The only thing you have to worry about is of you are tan enough
The best nights are when you are drunk with your best friends
You don’t have to worry about what you look like
I wish i had Long Island summers.
