Stat Rat (inhabitant of Staten Island)

A “Stat Rat” is an inhabitant of Staten Island. The term “Stat Rat” has been infrequently used; depending on the context, it could be a term of endearment or an insult.
 
“Stat Rat” has been cited in print since at least May 20, 2004, when the term was entered in the Urban Dictionary.
 
   
Urban Dictionary
Stat Rat
A resident of Staten Island most commonly seen wearing velour sweatsuits and/or black north face jackets. Commonly seen wandering around the Staten Island Mall. It can be difficult to distinguish one Stat Rat from another, as they all have the same hair cut/style.
Go to the Staten Island Mall. I guarantee that you will see PLENTY of examples.

In the end, I think I just comes down to the fact that I hate anyone born in Staten Island. They never leave and I’m pretty sure are inbred. Why the fuck this is a borough of New York City, which is supposed to be the greatest city in the world but is really only presenting itself to me as a bigger tease than that extremely amazing girl that licked her lips when asking me for a favor, then didn’t even give me a second look when I gave her a pen and was on one knee ready for her to accept my proposal. Fucking Stat Rats.

I was going to write about the ongoing combat between Jersey peeps and Staten Islanders, who I understand are known as “Stat Rats.” Now I don’t have to.
 
By birth and by virtue of having spent countless vacations Down the Shore, I side with the Garden Staters. However, knowing that the locals even refer to non-local Garden Staters as “Bennies,” I can’t muster vigorous support.
