TOURIST


Meaning of TOURIST in English

Being forced to do tourist things in your own town when friends are visiting from out of town. This especially applies in New York City, where your feet will practically fall off after a few days of touristing. Example: Good God, Vicica's in town from Guam and I've been touristing all week. I somehow ended up in Times Square ten times this week when I've done my best to avoid it my whole life. And midtown in general--friggin' midtown! Real New Yorkers don't go to midtown unless they're paid!
