Get the barquaintance mug.The city of dukes, Albuquerque. While many uneducated YOLOs claim the origin is unknown, the original gente knows. The word is short for the original spelling of the city "Alburquerque", in which you find the word burque. This is the original name of the founders and the original city in Spain.
Learn history before promoting things you know nothing about. Burque comes from Alburquerque, the original spelling of the city. Damn YOLOs.

Many people feel as if this new nickname has nothing to do with Albuquerque, but with a gentrified version of the city that has been sanitized to be more palatable to outside investors. Nevertheless, new city buses and other city-run aspects of the community have adopted/been branded with this new catch-phrase.

The Frontier restaurant is classic Burque: old people on sundays, pop-punk teens at 11pm after their concert, cholos at any time of day, and when all the bar-going individuals somehow find their way up from downtown when the bars close.
