A state that feels more like a large city surrounded by farmland. Most people who live in this state feel that it is divided into two areas--Chicago and Downstate. Although the official state capital is Springfield, just about everything gets done in Chicago. In fact, some out-of-staters actually believe that the capital of Illinois is Chicago. Because of this, and many other things, most "downstaters" resent everything and everyone from Chicago.
Visitor: Where are you from?
Illinois Guy: I'm from Peoria, Illinois.
Visitor: Where's that? Near Chicago?
Illinois Guy: No, it's about 50 miles west of Bloomington.
Visitor: Where's Bloomington?
Illinois Guy: Oh, forget it. It's near Chicago.

Get the Illinois mug.White trash capital of the Illinois Ozarks. Largest consumer of fentanyl and oxycodone in the region. Largest producer of methamphetamine. Wear realtree camouflage to show your fashion sense. Pay Northern Illinois taxes for Appalachian hillbilly culture and disadvantages. Pretty good values in mobile home sites (even for double wides). Some great banjo venues.

Get the Carterville Illinois mug.Also Known as Thottawa, It is One of the worst cities in the Illinois Valley that is filled with Yee Yee’s and Fake Gang members as well as the best prostitutes you can find. Most famously known by being consistently bashed by TREYXIII. People typically who show support to this city are usually in love with crack and have an IQ below 80.

Get the sherrard illinois mug.UIC is an acronym: University Impossible to Complete! UIC is located at the Chicago campus of University of Illinois. (MISSION IMPOSSIBLE for science/medical/technical majors. The exception is music/art history etc majors... majors for fun and to meet the pro bono humanities requirements). If you like a huge school that is too hard, UIC is the school for you!
Example:
I went to University of Illinois at Chicago to learn. Instead I got kicked out, the mission impossible song stuck in my head, and owe half of my future life earnings.

Get the University of Illinois at Chicago mug.Cool, awesomeness. A way of expressing great jubilation over ones great achievment. The word imports from using negative terminology as a superlative.
