shy-town

The wrong way to spell Chi-Town, which is a nickname for Chicago, Illinois, and has nothing to do with "shy"ness at all.

Only tourists spell it Shy-Town, and it's really annoying to have to correct.

Tourist: I'm going to stop in Shy-Town on my trip!
Chicagoan: Good Lord, not another one...
