You sure you're not from Staten Island? " This quote is often used as an example of an idiom that uses two phrases in the same sentence where they are supposed to be separated by a word or phrase. The first part is a question, asking if one is sure of something, similar to how someone might ask if someone was actually from Staten Island. This second part of the quote is actually a statement, explaining why one believes what they do.
