Heard this term particularly on the news my entire life. Never associated a sexual connotation
Guns are working great in Louisiana
You country boys don't how things work in the big city. You have to drive everywhere and there's no foot traffic.
You can have hundreds of people walking around on a busy NYC street. There's no way you can allow guns with that population density. There was a recent police shooting on the street and 8 bystanders got hit. If they can't safely use their guns how are random people going to avoid killing innocents.
You can keep your guns. We're good here.
And how can you say there's 8 million people, 4 million are crazy, and they should have guns?
Population density of Manhattan is 74k/sq mi
Brooklyn 38.6k/sq mi
Bronx 34.9k/sq mi
Queens 22k/sq mi
Staten Island 8.6k/sq mi
Miami 12k/sq mi
Los Angeles 8.2k/sq mi
Atlanta 3.6k/sq mi
Dallas 3.4k/sq mi
New Orleans 2.2/sq mi
These people don't understand that it is not the same.
NY is an old city so we keep traditions alive.Yep. The redbirds were the last subway cars to use the actual straphangers and those were retired in 2003.... over 20 years ago.
Whats crazy is Gen Z probably doesn't even remember or even know what an redbird is, even ones that grew up in NYC.
I think it's common for people not from NYC not knowing what an straphanger is. Straphangers were only used in NYC when it comes to transit systems in the U.S, far as I know.
Also, New Yorkers using outdated terms for random stuff in the city seems to be common, I heard of people call the numbered subway lines the IRT in modern times
My father still calls the Mets stadium Shea Stadium till this day even though Shea got demolished in fall 2008 and got replaced with a new stadium called Citi Field years ago

It's not slang. It's a legit word that's been used for over a century.
I didn't read your links because we already established you don’t get it. It's cool.
And colloquialism isn't slang. Maybe look up the definition of that one too while your at it.
Again I conceded. You got it buddy.
I hear you, winner. Lol
You're also from NYC or at least resided there at some point yes?
If so than we already established that we're not talking about you.
I wonder if male on male sexual assult is on the rise. It seems like it but that could be skewed reporting.
But it is.
This is the 1st time I've ever seen someone not just confused by the term but somehow thought it was sexual. It sounds like you might want to chill out on the porn.
Oh nah, deranged buddy got get unEarthed

I love how I've already said you were right at least 3 times yet you still aren't satisfied.
But it is.
This is the 1st time I've ever seen someone not just confused by the term but somehow thought it was sexual. It sounds like you might want to chill out on the porn.
I guess you don't feel dominate enough in this conversation so now you take to personal attacks while completely ignoring the dialog and repeating the same things over and over and over and over.
Imma just leave you here, move on to more interesting conversations and you can just make another post telling us you don't understand. Until the next time.
