"The Hawk"

HAWK.jpg

I've probably said this before, But Chicagoist writes better than Gothamist. So BFD, right?

Although, what in the hell is this?

Since my knowledge is ecumenical, I will answer the following for you. As such, you will be able to rest better tonite, and in The Future.

1 Would you agree that while the term "Chi-Town" means "Chicago," it's rarely spoken by a resident?

Only an asshole who is not from Chicago says Chi-town. These same people may also say Illinoi"s" by pronouncing the "s", which is also assholery. Btw, not that anyone cares, but one can display comparable stupidity by referring to San Francisco as "Frisco".

2 Does the term "dees and doze guy" refer to a working class local who speaks with a Chicago accent?

Number 2 is poorly written, yet with a shred of truth. It's not uncommon to say "these guys" or "those guys", and it will sound accordingly depending on the accent. As for "refer to a working class local who speaks with a Chicago accent", everyone is working class in Chicago, therefore, no one has time to talk about accents.

3 Does the term "dragged through the garden" refer to a hot dog with all the trimmings: mustard, relish, onion, sport peppers, tomato wedges, and dill pickle spear?

This is absolute bullshit. What the fuck is a "sport pepper"?

4 Does the term "Hizonner" refer to the mayor, usually the first Richard J. Daley but sometimes current Richard M. Daley?

Yes.

5 Does the term "The Hawk" refer to the wind off Lake Michigan, especially in the winter?

Where in the hell does this come from? I read this last week, and it's been haunting me since. The only Hawks Chicagoians talk about are Sparrow Hawks. Maybe.

6 Does the term "the prairie" refer to an empty city lot?

I have heard my Bridgeport Grandma say this before, a long time ago. There used to be alot of lots on the South Side that were overgrown, and oddly, not fenced in. These unloved lots had regressed to original prairie.

7 Is the term "Trixie" a derogatory term for pretty, shallow, upwardly mobile young women in the Lincoln Park neighborhood?

"Pretty, shallow, upwardly mobile?" That refers to women everywhere, right? Oh! No. This too, is ridiculous.

8 Is the term "Chads" a derogatory term for attractive, shallow, upwardly mobile young men in the Lincoln Park neighborhood?

No. Gay.

What a sorry-ass list. They couldn't even make it to 10.
