minus-squareMigratingApe@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up23·1 month agoWhat does it mean to “go upstate”? North?
minus-squareBroadfern@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up28·1 month agoIn larger US states, yes. Typically north/northwest, like in Upstate New York.
minus-squareccunning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·1 month agoI thought “Upstate” New York meant “not New York City”
minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up17·1 month agoDepends on where you are when you say it. To anyone in NYC, that’s probably true. But don’t say you’re in upstate NY if you’re in western NY.

minus-squareCubitOom@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 month agoThere is only really “Upstate”, New York, and “Long guy land”.
minus-squaretuxiqae@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoI thought it was Lone Guy Land
minus-squareTheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·edit-21 month agoUsually, yeah. In this context it probably just means from the lowland of the state to the mountains.
minus-squareORbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 month agoBased on what? That’s not how “upstate” is used… like ever. It’s not synonymous with “upstairs.”
minus-squareORbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 month agoThere are only degens up there, bud. Watch out.
minus-squareAlexLost@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoYeah, but I do love fishing in Quebec.
minus-squareprettybunnys@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoWhich is a mistake, cuz down the country is where the water tastes like wine.
