Overheard in the cafeteria

"So how's your new apartment?"
"We have a six-bedroom place."
"Six bedrooms!"
"We have a library."
"Whoa, that's so Brooklyn."

Only a wealthy person would believe that a home like that is typical of Brooklyn.

Nah, these guys were fairly young -- I think he just had a lot of roommates. But his mansplaining about How Brooklyn Lives is overall not very accurate. (J/k, writing this in the solarium while waiting for the butler to bring me my Earl Gray.)

Is "mansplaining" a word now?

It's been around for a while, but if you have a grammatical objection, feel free in this case to substitute "condescending explanations."
