The capital and largest city of Indiana with over 790,000 residents in the city limits and an additional 1,000,000 in the metro area. Carmel is perhaps its most well-known suburb and lies just north of the city in Hamilton County. It is the 12th largest US city by population--larger than even San Francisco, Baltimore, Boston, Washington DC, Cleveland or Milwaukee. It's The second largest state capital. It's also the fastest-growing large city and metro area in the Midwest. Derogatory titles like India-no-place or Napt-Town (hence, the last syllables NAPOLIS in its name)no longer apply. It's often called the Crossroads of America, the Cinderella of the Rust Belt, the Amateur Sports Capital or "Indy" as is most common among locals and Hoosiers. It's a basketball crazed town that is divided in loyalty between the Indiana Hoosiers and Purdue Boilermakers. Ignorant Michiganders to the north often call it Indiana, confusing it with its state.
Indianapolis is in the midst of a transformation from being a sleepy, industrial, Midwest metropolis to a more vibrant and modern one of today. The city has spent billions of $$ developing its downtown: Circle Center Mall, Conseco Fieldhouse, White River State Park, a new airport and a new Lucas Oil Stadium for the 2007 Super Bowl champs, the NFL's Colts.
Its residents suffer from somewhat of an inferiority complex. They often think Indy is the end of all places and is an undesirable hole. This is hardly the truth. Major national media publications have lauded the Indianapolis area for its afforable cost of living, excellent reputation in the arts, a healthy and steadily-growing economy and a growing population. Eli Lilly, a major pharmaceutical manufacturer has its headquarters in the middle of the city and is a well respected Fortune 500 company.
All in all, Indianapolis is a damn fine town to live in and has much to be proud of. It's my hometown and I'm damn proud to be from there.

Get the indianapolis mug.A close, and disgusting, cousin to the Indian Burn.
To grab your girlfriend's leg, press it up against your ass, and crack off a fart. Usually delivered best after a hearty meal of some type of Curry, hence the name.

Get the Indiana mug.People of the country of India. Have Beautiful people (especially North India), culture and has every major religion in the world. It is Home to Hinduism, Sikhism and is home to the 2nd largest Muslim population in the world wit over a 170 million Muslims! The North Indians have Aryan blood in them causing them to have lighter skin, hair, and look Persian-ish however there are dark ones too. Dravidian's are a different type of Indians from South India, they are dark skinned, haired but there are light ones. Central India (Gujarat, etc)is where people have mixed Dravidian and Aryan Blood within them but look more Persian as well. People!! We Indians need to stop being so snobbish and posting how wealthy we supposedly are, sure that may be true, however no one cares about your finances! People would rather hear about our culture than our economy, not saying that its not important! India has many different languages, Hindi, Urdu, Gujarati, Marathi.
India and Pakistan Zindabad!
My favorite Indian languages are Hindi and Urdu because they sound great and are extremely simialar

Get the Indiana mug.The act of laying passed out in a gutter. This stems from the stereotype that Native Americans have a low tolerance for alcohol, and a high rate of alcoholism.

Get the Indian Style mug.Where a female sits on a face of her lover, with the lover's nose in the vagina like a sybian, while she bounces up and down on the lover's lips which are shaped like a circle. As her butt bounces on her lover's lips and makes an Indian stereotypical battle cry.
The pressure of her butt coming down on the lips making the sound of an Indian battle cry. Therefore called Indian-style.
