Is the Chi-Town accent the one where you say "Chi-caw-gow". 25+ years after leaving the windy city, people here in the North Country still mock my accent. This from hicks that say things like "couple a few", "go down cellar", "go down street" and "soda".

crustedfish

yeah, you got it...that nasally, whiny thing...i kinda dig it though...beats other accents Ive encountered....

When I first moved back to Cincinnati after living in Chicago people made fun of me for the way I said Chicago.

pitboss

Chicago denouces you. So there. Get a job in Parma.

auroch

chicks in ohio dig me. chicago will miss you; all 2.8 million of us. jeff

MKRG

WooHoo! I'd write that on a T-Shirt if I were you! You're special!

pitboss

everyone needs low standards sometimes.

auroch

are you saying that ohio-ens at all night truck stops are somehow "low"?

pitboss

not at all...they lowered their standards...just for you!

Where do you think Springer gets his camera fodder? He was the MAYOR of CINCINNATI (yes I am hanging my head in shame) He knows where to get these freaks and displays them on national TV. I gotta get outta this town again!

auroch

wait! I just read the "bathe in bleach..." Critical Mass-post and realized that some might not realize I was being facetious. I would never seriously say or believe something as lame as "chicks in ohio dig me" for the following reasons.

01. it is impossible to make that broad of a generalization based on 4 trips through Ohio

02. Chicks is not the preferred nomenclature ("the chinaman is not the issue")

03. "ohio" is a wonderful state and deserves to begin with a capital letter like the other states and Puerto Rico.

04. dig is an antiquated phrase that may not properly describe what exactly occured.

I understand that in the future I should have peppered my post with little smilies and ()'s so that there is never any confusion.

example: chicks (females whom I respect) in (currently residing in) ohio (Ohio) dig (have expressed their desires) me (me). (period)


jeff

yes this is me in final exam mode.

auroch

Hey Springer tapes in Chicago. Maybe that means you'll come over too!

MKRG

I lived there for a while. I miss it. but there was nowhere to park my trailer and my wife (sister) couldn't find a job.

Anybody ever notice how the Chicago accent is fading? I am sure there are some stronger pockets of it on the south side. But it ain't what is used to be. I have been feeling nostagia for it lately.

HEY!!! As an "Ohio chick", I'm highly offended!

I'm not good enough for any of you? That's fine!

s2sxiii

its not that you're an ohio chick, its that you're a TOLEDO chick. I mean seriously, just tell people you're from detroit or something I kid because i'm originally from NW Ohio.

hammye

I think we know one another.

s2sxiii

are you saying you undestand me, or that we might know each other?

Hammye knows the truth. I've spent some time as a Mass-hole, and wouldn't you take an east coast girl over an Oh-hi-ho girl 9 times out of 10? David lee Roth was just struggling for lyrics when he wrote about the midwest farmers daughters. Give me an educated, slight boston accent over some fake-southern, central ohio girls twang (complete with a snorting laugh) any day.

hammye

I was thinking you may be somebody that used to live in Toledo as well. Yes I did get the east coast girl. And that in itself is pretty funny. On another note, there are a coule of people I know in the Columbus area that have been doin alot of riding on the ol' single speed bike dealies. I think they are always looking for someone to ride with.

hammye

Hey schwinbikelove, did you ever got to Reggies? as in lately?

s2sxiii

nah, i'm from Tiffin, my dad works up in toledo, so i'm pretty familiar with it. You're a little older than me. I'd always be glad to hear of people who are tearing up columbus on the bikes.
