Long Island

Long Island is an island located to the east of Manhattan, stretching in the northeasterly direction. It is home to four counties, of which two -- Brooklyn and Queens -- are Boroughs of New York City. In political and cultural contexts, however, the name "Long Island" refers to the portion of the island occupied by the remaining two counties: Nassau and Suffolk.

One of America's most vivid examples of urban sprawl, Long Island was mostly rural until the late 1940's, at which time developers began radically transforming its landscape into what became an endless sea of cookie-cutter housing and strip malls. It is characterized by overcrowding, insane transportation costs and high property taxes. Although it is socioeconomically diverse, and serene rural scenery can still be found there by those who look very hard, it is a quintessential American suburb in that it combines the worst of the urban and rural worlds: all the crowding and expense of living in the city with none of the cultural sophistication or tolerance; all the dullness of the country, with none of the bucolic charm.

Long Islanders are known for their distinctive accent, which is best described as exceedingly nasal and guttural. For example "long" is pronounced "lawn'", "coffee" is "cawffy", and someone whose name is Mark would actually be called "Mawk".

My friends bought a house in Long Island, and now their tax payments are almost as high as their mortgage payments!

long bacon

the act of placing one's thumb on one's nose whilst wiggling the extended fingers of the same hand. This is a childish act, similar to sticking out the tongue.

Mum, Billy just pulled long bacon at me

ding-a-long

When, on the road, the car you are trying to pass accelerates to match your speed only to slow down after you abandon the attempt and pull back behind them.

When I saw that the driver in my rearview mirror was texting, I felt it my duty to ding-a-long him when he tried to pass.

Yes officer, I was doing 80 in a school zone, but it was only to pass that ding-a-long in the F-150!

Singh-a-long

Any Bollywood movie. The term comes from the fact that Bollywood movies are, for the most part, a collection of Singh's united in song and dance.

The only reason I saw that singh-a-long was for Aishwarya Rai.
