If he's from NYC, he knows what NYC means. If he's not from there, it doesn't matter anyway

NYC is one of a number of world cities known by acronyms or nicknames:

  • Rio For Rio de Janeiro
  • HK For Hong Kong
  • TJ For Tijuana
  • KL For Kuala Lumpur
  • TO For Toronto
  • Joburg For Johannesburg

There's even a whole country that goes by its initials: UK.

So, stop thinking this is some American thing, it's just a way that people shorten the names of common cities that have a few too many syllables to be convenient.
