Sorry to make you miss NY, but I’m glad that you are for brevity and spunk.
Ha ha I remember when I lived in New York my boyfriend there made fun of me for calling “sneakers” “gym shoes” (“What, are you going to the gym in your gym shoes?”) and my roommate made fun of me for calling “ATMs” “Cash Stations.” That was ten years ago, but I never got over it so I still call them sneakers and ATMs.
