Chances are she's a sexually repressed Asian nerd girl who just found herself in the big city. And, of course, it's a white guy we're dealing with here.

I call BS on the subway fingering- even an undergrad should know better than to call the subway "the RED line."

[9] Hah! Just an hour ago I wrote a friend that Giant Eddie Murphy Head With Man Climbing Out Of It in Times Square was already haunting my dreams! I'm not even asleep yet, but it's firmly in my subconscious like a Michel Gondry film.

Erm,I've been living here for six years now and still call it the red line, blue line, green line, etc. And after conferring with a few of my friends about 80% of them refer to them this way as well.

Seconded, Rocknrope. Maybe 80% of her friends are knuckleheads.

I lived in New York my whole life as well and never heard it referred by colors as well. It's either the letter of the train or the line (Lex, Queens Blvd, 8th Av, etc).
