My FIL is from New York. Well, he's actually from Syracuse, New York, but apparently just sneaking that "New York" thing in anywhee is enough for him to proclaim Yankee fandom and act like he's the King of fucking England because of it. Says "Missouri" "Kansas City" and "St. Louis" like they're things he scrapes off the bottom of his shoe. If/when I ask him about the Yankmees this year, he'll just stick his nose up in the air and mention the 27 world series wins; won mostly, of course, by people who have been dead for decades. But there's no getting through that I'm-from-New-York-and-I'm-better-than-you shield. Even though a true New Yorker would consider him to be every bit as much of a hick as me because he is from (add condescention here) Upstate.
