A book for people who know the place
Urban Dictionary of New York calls the people climbing subway stairs against the crowd “Subway salmon.”
The collection has definitions about getting around, finding something to eat, and living close to a lot of other people.
In Urban Dictionary of the San Francisco Bay Area, a “hellacommute” is an unreasonably long trip to work. The edition covers the East Bay and South Bay as well as San Francisco.
Other editions include Urban Dictionary of Los Angeles and Urban Dictionary of the Pacific Northwest. The definitions come from Urban Dictionary’s users. These books make good gifts for someone who lives there, or someone who moved away and still has things to say about it. Open the previews and see what they might recognize.
