Title Explanation

When I was little, I used to get the name of New York mixed up. I could never remember if it was “New York” or “You Nork.”

My Aunt Kathy was the one who set me straight. She explained that when you say “You Nork”, it’s like you’re calling someone a “nork” (which I assumed, at 6-years-old, was some sort of dirty word). Since then I’ve been pretty good about it. Although occasionally “You Nork” still slips out.

I’ll have to work on that now that I’m going to be living there; those You Norkers don’t take too kindly to insults.
