Definition

The exaggerated, performative New York accent typically deployed by people who have never actually been to New York or by actors in bad mob movies. It's linguistic cosplay that actual New Yorkers find deeply offensive. Think 'fuhgeddaboudit' said by someone from Nebraska.

Example Usage

Stop doing that terrible New Yawk accent—you're from Connecticut.
