I noted that there are several key phrases absent from the New York dialect:

"Please"
"Thank You"
"May I..."
"Let me get that for you..."

Whenever I use any of these phrases, I am greeted with surprise, occasionally pleasure, and often suspicion.

It's like living among the Ferengi.

You're like a Canadian ambassador down there!

How long are you there for?

You know now that you mention it, Ferengi is a pretty apt comparison.
