I say "On" because there is no thing that connects Long Island other than the land itself. New Jersey has its own government. New York has its own government. There is no Long Island Government. I live "In" Nassau County because the government has estblished it as an area. I live "On" Long Island because it is a geographic region. Thats my explaination and I'm sticking to it.

I say "on" but always preface it with "out."For example - "I'd like to hang out with her more often, but she lives all the way out on Long Island."

I usually just say "thank God I don't have to go back to that shithole Long Island any more"I have a friend that calls it Wrong Island.  THat's too corny for me, I'll stick to shithole.

On is the only appropriate way.  I use "Out on the island" if I'm in Suffolk, but that's cause I'm from Nassau.  The above is pretty common.  luvafroshows wrote:I usually just say "thank God I don't have to go back to that shithole Long Island any more"I have a friend that calls it Wrong Island.

LOL  P.S. Your sweet, Merry Christmas!
