“That’s a New York face, and it’s what every New Yorker learns to do from an early age.”

I went to school with a guy from Brooklyn who took it upon himself to teach this California boy a little “Brooklynese” and the NY face was part of it! He said you risk getting called out, “What’r yoose looking at?”

I still haven’t been to NY, but thanks for the memory!

Absolutely! And whatever you do, you DON'T respond "nothing". They'll come back with "Oh! So I'm nothin' to you!".
