the windy city

As you already may know, "the windy city" was actually a phrase used by the city of Chicago to promote their breezey beaches. LATER, a writer for the New York times used it as an insult for the boastful manner of Chicagoans during the world's fair. It has also been used to describe their politicians, whose lies and false promises have lead people to say they are "full of wind."
So if a know-it-all tool says to you, "You know, Chicago isn't called 'the windy city' because it's windy," you can say, "Fuck you. Yes it is."

Denver City

Denver City is a small town in the state of Texas taken up widely by a population of Whores and wanna-be Christians. They used to have a theatre, but the Christians thought it was possessed or some shit, and made way for some shitty plot of ground that is now ran down. This is the extent of how shitty this shit hole has become. Now, since there is nothing to do, all the children just have sex for fun, which is why HPV is so common place.
Jim: Hey Bob, you want to drive over to that shit hole Denver City?

Jim: Fuck no Bob, I went to that shit hole yesterday, and now I have the clap.
