Chicago is the windy city. Most people think it's called the windy city because it's so cold during the winter. The nickname originally came about during the 1850 world's fair which was held in Chicago. News spread to New York City from Chicagoans about how grand the world's fair was. Thus, the New Yorkers called Chicago the "Windy City" because of how Chicagoans bragged about the fair and how fast the word got around.
I'm ghetto but I'm informed. I'm from the Windy city.

Get the your citymug. A city person that has lived in the city limits their whole life and has never seen an ounce of rural life at all. These types of people usually think they better than a country person which they refer to as a “hick” when in fact they can’t do anything productive at all, besides go to work everyday in their hybrids and blow money.
“That city dweller can’t even take a tire off a car.” Yet I’m the problem because I live on a dirt road.
