NYC = new york city
This is a translation provided for free by me because this user has defualted to american defaultism
To the person I'm replying to, THIS IS THE INTERNET, NOT america
If he's from NYC, he knows what NYC means. If he's not from there, it doesn't matter anyway
My dude, he’s from America lol
NYC is one of a number of world cities known by acronyms or nicknames:
There's even a whole country that goes by its initials: UK.
So, stop thinking this is some American thing, it's just a way that people shorten the names of common cities that have a few too many syllables to be convenient.
