What Does NYC Mean in Text? A Simple Explanation
As a New Yorker, I tend to use NYC in my conversation and writing to refer to New York City. But when I was asked what NYC means in text, I became curious about the meaning behind this abbreviation.
I have discovered that NYC can have multiple meanings as an acronym or slang other than New York City depending on the context in which it is used in a chat! So what does NYC stand for in texting?
What is the NYC meaning in Text?
I have learnt that NYC in text can translate to two things – Not Your Concern and No You Can’t.
Not Your Concern
At first glance I feel like I would not like to be at the receiving end of the acronym Not Your Concern, but it is a quick way to indicate the information being discussed is not relevant or applicable. This is especially true online and on social media platforms, where NYC can be a polite way to decline answering a personal question, or to let someone know that they are crossing a boundary in asking questions about a particular topic or conversation that is none of their business.
No You Can’t
No You Can’t seems like one I would like to use often, but I probably won’t! It does sound like something parents can text to their kids often, I can almost hear mine saying NYC to me while growing up!
Now that I know the alternative NYC text meaning, I will plan to use NYC in text when I need to say “Not Your Concern” or “No You Can’t”. I guess in my case, it will be NYC from NYC.
