I grew up there, 0 - 30 years. Cousin sent this link. I think it's hysterical & enjoyed hearing THAT type of talking again. Hope it brings back good memories.

Sounds right. Lived in Itasca, IL for 4 months in 1994 or so and visited Chicagoland a lot when living in a suburb of Milwaukee, WI for 10 years or so. 0-10.8 years or so. 1959-late 69. Also lived in Minneapolis from Fall of 1986 through late Fall 1991. Native Cheesehead.

You might be right.

I remember we had Bratwurst - Wikipedia when living in the Milwaukee area but did not have them for decades after moving to Reno in early 1970.

Come on..they dont call Chicago the “Second City” for no reasond.


Second in pizza

Second hot dogs

Second in murder rates.



Really who puts a pickle in a hot dog?

So what is the difference between a pickle and relish? Oh yeah, a sharp knife.

I can only assume you are from NYC. It's the only possible explanation for both the attitude and the delusion regarding pizza and hot dogs.

While you are correct that Chiraq is a crime cesspool, I wouldn't walk around most of NYC alone after dark either.

That was funny!!

I can honestly say I never understood a word of Chicagoese.
The English was good, better than many announcers presently gibbering on the BBC!

I can't watch a BBC show without subtitles. They claim it's in English, but I can only pick up about a quarter of the dialog with closed captioning.

Wait, didn't you Brits invent the language before it was brought across the pond?

Back in time before Political Correctness was invented news readers, announcers, anyone in fact talking on BBC, used what we called King/Queens English, which was clear and concise, and understandable by most.
Then along come the 'all inclusive' brigade, who complained that BBC speak was too 'upper class' and that more regional accents should be included.
All downhill since then, and like you, both my wife and I need captions for pretty much all tv shows.
I myself have an East London accent, and when in US. most think I am an Aussie, so I have to slow down, and 'speak proper,' as they say!
Michael Caine, the actor, has a more refined South London accent.

Ha. I watched A Clockwork Orange in college. My head hurt more after that movie than the worst hangover of Freshman year.

Brilliant. Born and lived there until I was 21. Instead of knockwurst, I probably would have gone with polish sausage.
