We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

I live kind of in the metro NY area and I go to the city a lot. I’ve only ever heard “I got on the line” or “Are you on the line?” otherwise it would be “get in line” or “I’m in line for …”
Overall though, that article feels really dated. The famous NYC accent has been fading in recent years. I haven’t heard many of the features listed in that article and more still I’ve only heard from old people.
I lived in NYC for years and I don’t think I ever heard this. I’ll have to ask a family member that grew up in the Bronx which they say
Can confirm that this is extremely common in Brooklyn & Queens, and very confusing when I first encountered it. I am now married to a NYC native whose whole family says this.
I lived in NYC for over a decade and I never heard anyone say "stand on line".
Grew up here and it’s for sure a thing. It may vary by borough, but we use both. We also have to account that sayings do change over time, and the more people move to NYC, the less you may hear of older phrases.
when I’m browsing the web but don’t have a chair
Brits out there quietly queuing like MFers.
And enjoying it.
From New York and definitely say "on line." Not going to gatekeep, I know people say it different ways, but also shocked others here saying they've never heard it. Its very common.
It’s been almost 15 years so it’s possible I just forgot 🤷♂️
Nah
But are they on the bus or in it?
yeah its like most people say they jack into the matrix but I say I jack on to the matrix.
