I recently happened upon the expression "bridge and tunnel", and upon researching it I have found it to be one of the most elitist, obnoxious expressions I've heard of. It really rubs me the wrong way. Has this expression been around a long time or is it a new thing? Do people actually have the nerve to say this in NYC, or is it just in the media and the safety of the internet forums? What do those of you from the other boroughs think about this saying? Sorry... just had to vent.

I can't image why anyone would be offended by it. I guess I got thick skin.
Yes, they do come through a bridge/tunnel to get to Manhattan... but it's supposed to be said in an insulting way, that's why. Things like that don't really bother me, so I don't really care one way or the other.

It has numerous connotations. None of which are good.
