Americans think New Yorkers are the biggest jerks in the country, according to a new survey — released just days before Christmas, no less.

But many locals were too polite to respond to the diss Monday.

Residents of Washington, DC, were rated the third-surliest, followed by Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Buffalo, Baltimore, Philadelphia and San Francisco.
