NYPD Has New Name for Hipsters

Seems like many are complaining about Gothamist articles about Williamsburg, but is anyone really forcing you to read them? Who cares?

Gothamist seems big on racially profiling people. Unless they're Muslim terrorists, of course.

Gothamist is clearly run by chavs.

Jesus Christ, this is a story? Your news sense sucks.

muuuuurda she twote murdaaaaa sheee twoo-a-ote...

it doesnt refer to being soft like 90lb weakling.

it refers to being so soft you call 911 for every little inconvenienence and discourtesy you encounter even if its not a crime. it referes to the retarded need to film and stand there and document every single argument and discord that appears in front of of your hoping to get some twatter and utube fame. it refers to the incessant need to blog tweet face and space every single event in your boring lives as if its really important.

yes cops do some good work, some cops are assholes.

most cops are asshole who havent been discovered yet.

cops dont deal with hard core white people who hold it down in the hood, they deal with pretenious twats who overwhelm the 911 system with dumb silly calls.

Tips For Clueless People Who Get Mugged

So black hipsters are roasted marshmallows?

like most cops are not white and soft?

Is there a name for people with dark skin who wear skinny jeans and live in Williamsburg? Like if they are from the Caribbean Europe or Afrcia, not from American

wow, this board is so diverse and educated.

that would be nutella

Those are the marshmallows just sell out.

;)

*that

The tipster got it wrong. "Marshmallow" refers to anyone who is "white and soft." Sure, it can be applied to some hipsters but it also can be applied to a significant segment of the non-hipster population. And a significant number of Gothamist commenters, I'm sure.

why the fancy monikers? those of us down in the southern parts of BK have been calling them douchebags for years... seems to work just fine.

u must be a marshmellow.

everyone knows you can't put that in a washing machine

Sober up and click on REPLY when you're replying to someone.

I just hate them.

this is old news if your not white

i guess when you discover a slang derrogative term used to describe your soft your people are you find it endearing, write a twitter post and it gets picked up as news.

sober up a bit and try that sentence again.

This is funny. Stop getting so whiny about it gothamist commenters. Or gothmenters. The goth describes both gothamist and the dramatic part.

Eh, I wasn't referring to that with the name.

Your whining about something an amusing NY anecdote as being not journalistic worthy on a blog was really great too.

boooo lame comeback boooo

and doesn't "driftwood" describe a boner that can't find something to fuck? draws parallels to your contribution to this conversation.

shazam!

I see what you did there with your gothment.

And black hipsters are Smores.

Just look how upset all you little Marshmallows are getting! You should be happy that the police are so whimsical, I've always used the term "entitled assholes." "Marshmallow" is a nice compromise.

Um, I think it's just backwards. Marshmallow is the new hipster nickname for cops.

apt description but "marshmallows" will never catch on. too many syllables, too little time.

hmmm, what else is white and soft and easy to say?

meeeeellos

the problem is smores are tasty.

how about 'maggots?' rhymes with....

Agree.

Smores. White, soft, and always baked.

no country for old men

Pffft. I've been calling them "Hostess Twinkie Motherfuckers" for years now.

Lets use it is a sentence. Jen Carlson is a marshmallow.

Go ride your "fixie" back to bushwick.

hahahaha!!

LMAO... I like it.... marshmallows......

HINT: when you have to add the disclaimer "unsubstantiated!" before you enter the rest of your content into a newsblog that you work for, it's probably not worth posting.

btw nice attempt at yellow journalism with that headline there, as if the entirety of the NYPD goes by this "code" or whatever, even if the rest of it is true.

You, Steven and redhookreject have got it correct.

Why doesn't Jen just set up a site called "Williamsburgist" since that is all that seems to matter?

for real though, click the "williamsburg" tag on the article and take a look at how many recent williamsburg-centric articles are written by jen carlson. what's more of a concern for me is the way that she regularly reports on the rest of the city from what i read as williamsburg's POV, i.e. as if other neighborhoods are these quaint little commodities for white people to enjoy.

who is this site for, anyway?

Why was this posted even? Twitter is now a source for news?

I'm still trying to wrap my head over the fact that there's a word like "twote," not to mention "tweeted." I hope I use it in a grammatically correct way the next time I have to describe marshmallows in Bill-burg.

who cares...
