I object to "yokel" and "hayseed". I don't live in New York, and I assure you I'm neither.

That's too tough on out-of-towners.

Not everyone outside of NY is a yokel, but that's certainly the best description for the people I see at Ground Zero every single day.

Yokels etc. is just charming NYC slang for much valued domestic tourists. Europeans of a certain socio-economc level are affectionately called Euro Trash
