If you're talking to someone else, and they ask where you live (conversationally), what do you say?
Most people on this board from NYC or even in some of the suburbs basically would probably agree if they were described as New Yorkers. But is this your primary ID of your home?
When I lived in Flatbush, if someone in the CIty asked me where I lived, I said "Flatbush"--no further explanation necessary. Not a matter of local pride--Flatbush was where I lived. If I was talking t someone out of town (or I was out of town--like in the Army), then I would say "Brooklyn" or rarely "New York."
What do you say?
