cheechako

A new-comer to Alaska, ignorant of the terrain, the weather, the animals, the culture, the necessary driving skills in the winter, etc. Opposite of a sourdough.

-Did you see the 90-car pile-up on the Glenn Highway this morning on your way to work?
--Yeah, and how much you wanna bet that it was all caused by some goddamn Cheechako at the front of the pack?

cheechako

Cheechako actually means "tenderfoot" - it is used to refer to anyone new to Alaska (anyone who has lived there for less than 25 years).

I don't need some cheechako politician from the Lower 48 telling me what to do.

Cheechako

Someone new to Alaska, Ignorant in the ways of the Last Frontier and Lacking the skills required to survive the Alaskan wilderness. Historically from "Cheecago", That's how the term originated, but now mostly ignorant liberal mamas-basement types from Seattle, Portland or San Francisco.

Look at that ignorant-ass Cheechako getting trampled by a moose!
