To be fair, it would be quite difficult to form an “N” on those streets, given the lack of diagonals.
I’m increasingly convinced that Urban Dictionary contributors just take a bunch of words, both real and made-up, and randomly generate supposed slang meanings for them that no one has ever actually used. It’s about the only thing that explains many entries.

Here in Australia “Strog” is slang for Stroganof, the tasty casserole with beef and mushrooms. I am sure Boston has a world famous take on strog like NY has its own take on pizza.

I recommend blocking UD, it’s fabricated bullshit that you don’t want rattling around in your head.
Adding -site:urbandictionary.com to your search helps. A browser extension and a 127.0.0.1 entry in your HOSTS file helps more.
