New York City and State

[Lynne Murphy]

Outside N America, "New York" refers to the city.  When people ask me where
I'm from, I tell them "New York" if I want to intimidate them, and "New York
State" otherwise.

Charles Wells supposes that "New York" refers to the city in the northeast,
but I think that depends on where you are.  In NYS, it definitely doesn't,
and I suspect that it doesn't in Vermont and likely the Berkshires, since
the state will pop up on their weather maps.
