A little village in between Westmoreland and New Hartford. Home of Hamilton College. Hockeytown of New York. Town with a lot of underaged teenagers who drinks and smokes and doesn't give a shit.
Man: Hey you hear about a group of teenagers getting busted for drinking?
Woman: Really? Where was the bust?
Man: In Clinton, New York.
Woman: Hmm, thought so.

A very short period of time; within a blink or a heartbeat. Originates from the legendary fast pace of life in New York.
I can beat that score in a new york minute.

An example of how not to manage a hockey team.
Did you see the New York Islanders versus New York Rangers last night?
Yeah, the Islanders still suck.

A distinct brand of English spoken especially in the NYC metropolitan area, including the buroughs (excl. alot of Manhattan, full of transplants), Long Island, parts of upstate, and a great deal of New Jersey and Connecticut.
Those who portray it as low-class or ugly, forget that some of the finest speakers of the English language, including Robert Rinero and Christopher Walken, have thick New York accents.
Some features it is known for were previously common, but are now disappearing (such as pronouncing "girl" as "goil" which noone except very old men does anymore).
One of the most widespread features is pronouncing the "a" in words Kerry and carry seperately. Most Americans pronounce the short a in words like "carry", "Larry" "vary", and "marry" with an e, giving them the same vowel as "berry".
A slightly less common, but still widespread feature is an additional vowel not used in General American English, often written as "aww. In words like "caught", "long", "off, and sometimes even "dog" or "fog" are pronounced with the lips more rounded into an o-like a. Most Americans and Canadians as well just pronounce it with a long a, as in "father".
One feature that's still easy to find, but not necessarily the norm anymore, is r-dropping, as in other Northeastern US accents, pronouncing "here" and "there" "hee-uh" and "theh-uh". Many of those that don't drop the r at least soften it, or only drop it in some words while speaking quickly.
Some famous speakers of New York English include:
Marlon Brando
Joe Pesci
Donald Trump
Robert Dinero
Christopher Walken
Many many good MC's
Rudy Giuliani

a pleasant state of America that has many exciting attractions such as the Great American Kazoo Factory (in Eden), Niagara Falls, New York City attractions, and several Iroquois Indian reservations where you can stock up on gas and other stuff without paying a state tax (all the money goes back to the Native American community)!
Eveywhere I went in New York State I couldn't find a "I-heart-NY" shirt. I do love New York State, a lot.

The New York Monday is the effect of the brain's response to extreme automobile traffic in the New York area for a prolonged period over which an individual perceives it has no control. It involves an endocrine system response in which occurs a release of corticosteroids. Sweating, nervousness and sometimes nausea may accompany this caught in traffic person. The effects of stress are often enhanced due to the fact that Sunday is a relaxing day and the following day, Monday, causes an extreme shock to the driver.
Carl got touraids from the New York Monday after being 2 hours late for work and stuck at the Lincoln Tunnel.
