I heard in the movie Adventureland:
Em Lewin : So what's the plan?
James Brennan : I'm gonna crash at the Y for a week, I'm gonna look for a shitty job, and I don't know.
IMDB has a longer script here. What does "the Y" in "crash at the Y" mean? Does it refer to a park or a hotel? James here is saying he will be sleeping for a while at this place the Y, but what is "the Y"?
Best Answer
"Crashing" in this place means "staying/sleeping at".
"The Y" is shorthand for "the YMCA" - famous from the song... the "Young Men's Christian Association".
From the Wikipedia article:
The humanitarian work has included offering a place for someone in need to stay for the night or get a hot shower or meal.
Their current logo and website actually minimize the full name of the group, and depict the current term used for the association "The Y".
