Useful in NYC

Friend: As for MarieBelle, that's SO last year. That's where I got one of Mom's Xmas gifts last year. But, it can't be THAT last year cause she wants something else from there this year.

Me: Did you really just say something was 'SO last year'? You've been living in NY way too long to be useful to society any longer. ... Congrats!

Friend: I can still be useful to other New Yorkers, right?

Me: Apparently the only uses that New Yorkers have for other New Yorkers are:

1) providing bitchy comments
2) disdainful looks
3) holes to stick things in
4) any combination of the above

in short, yes, you can still be useful to other New Yorkers ... well, after your bum heals, anyway.
