1. Yorker

   In cricket, a yorker is a ball bowled (a delivery) which hits the cricket pitch around the batsman's feet. When a batsman assumes a normal stance, this generally means that the cricket ball bounces on the cricket pitch on or near the batsman's popping crease. A batsman who advances down the pitch to strike the ball (typically to slower or spin bowlers) may by so advancing cause the ball to pitch (or land) at or around his feet and may thus cause himself to be "yorked". Yorkers are considered to be one of the most difficult deliveries to bowl for the bowlers.

   If you're a New Yorker, you have a level of PTSD from 9/11.

2. Katie Vincentz:

   Congressman Zeldin, Alison Esposito and all members of Team Zeldin are safe following tonight’s attack. Far more must be done to make New York safe again. This is very much getting out of hand in this state. Unfortunately, Congressman Zeldin is just the latest New Yorker whose life has been affected by the out of control crime and violence in New York. This needs to stop! Thankfully, we still have exceptional men and women in law enforcement answering the call to protect our streets.

4. Michael Rapaport:

   You can be unfiltered and still make up things. It happens all the time, it's a New York thing. ( Trump) does speak like a New Yorker, Donald Trump grew up in New York City so Donald Trump has New York City, but that doesn't mean Donald Trump's telling the truth.

5. Sienna Miller:

   People sort of complain about the pace. Friends of mine from London find it really intense, but I thrive in that kind of environment, it’s sort of cliche?, but it’s motivating and inspiring. It feels incredibly open and boundaryless. You can barely speak English and be a New Yorker. New York takes anyone, accepts everyone.
