1. Tin-eared contraction of grown-ups borrowed from Star Trek episode by New York Magazine and repurposed to describe adults who look, talk, act, and dress like tweenty-two-year-olds. Mostly used in association with tastes in music or fashion, in particular the urban hipster taste for distressed denim, New Wavish indie rock, and canvas messenger bags.
Assemblyman Michael Benjamin (D-Brooklyn Bronx) on the floor of the assembly just made the point that his apartment was robbed. For $80,000 a year, can't he get a apartment in a better neighborhood?

He's a Democrat from the Bronx. Represents Morrisania, Concourse Village, Tremont, and Crotona Park East neighborhoods. Few NYers, save Mayor Mike's wealthy friends, live in entirely crime-free communities.
The point I'm trying to make that getting paid $80,000 for a 6 month a year, 3 day a week job, he is like one of Mayor Mike's wealthy friends and could probably afford ADT or Slomin's home alarm.
I know he is no near as wealthy as Mayor Mike but he is no slouch either. The average income for a family in the five boroughs is around $50,000 a year, and he makes 60% more than the average family for less than half a year's worth of work.
