I hear it in movies so the time. We’re going upstate. I went upstate. Etc
I never hear downstate, or similar. Does it just mean going north?
I’m probably wrong, but I think it means somewhere north of the capital city, and maybe it’s only used in New York
You are very wrong. Albany is part of “upstate NY” and Albany is literally the capital city… In NY it means basically anywhere that isn’t NYC.
Ok, so upstate means north of the capital or north NYC if in New York?
The term upstate has no relation to the capital city, that was a mistaken assertion. It isn’t used very widely at all, it’s just a local term in a couple of states for their northern portions. Most states don’t have an area that is referred to as upstate.
It works just like updog
What does that mean?
ligma balls gottem lmao
