Hi Vit!

I've never heard the term "Manhattan", but I think it is the same as a
"Drawbridge" which means that the part (normally passives) aren't quite
"Tombstoned" but have lifted one termination enough to cause a open solder
connection.

"Billboards" are passive components that have been placed on edge, resembling
a Billboard, instead of laying flat on the pads, the component is on edge,
90-degrees from what is supposed to be...that is rooted in the placement
process.
