chicagoian 

Someone who currently lives in Chicago or close proximity. Positive feelings towards Chicago and feeling like you are a part of the city of Chicago. Pride in Chicago.
I have lived in Chicago all my life and I consider myself a dedicated chicagoan. As long as I live in Chicago I will be a Chicagoian.

Chicagoan 

A superhuman being that inhabits the wonderful city of Chicago. They can be found anywhere in Chicago, but how do you know if you've spotted an actual Chicagoan?

First, Chicagoans love or have some sort of pride in them for Chicago. Why would you bother being a Chicagoan if you didn't like Chicago?

Second, they're actually from Chicago. Always check to make sure that whoever tells you they're from Chicago isn't actually from Naperville or some other place/suburb that is an hour away from the Loop.

Third, they are very friendly but can also be tough. They will always be loyal to anything that holds their city dear, like the sports teams. There is currently an ongoing dispute between the Chicago Cubs and the White Sox. Pick your side wisely, because once you do, you can't go back.

Lastly, if you're a Chicagoan, you will be disturbed by the gif below. Why? Because there's ketchup on that hot dog! If you're not a Chicagoan, it may seem normal to put ketchup on a hot dog, but to a Chicagoan, it's not a good thing for them.

Overall, Chicagoans are wonderful, magical humans that should be treated with great respect. If you don't I'm going to have you sentence you to 3 years in Jay Cutler's household! So be nice to Chicagoans. ✨✨✨✨
Plot twist: I'm a Chicagoan!

(Some things in this definition are satire)

chicagoized 

A process by which some Midwestern cities, formerly sleepy towns, gain urbanization and become more like Chicago, Illinois.

Many long-time natives of these cities, and furthermore, those living in the same area but outside these cities, despise the process.
I'm sick of it... Indianapolis is getting chicagoized. A new downtown, mid-rise condo towers, and a gentrified hippie village... What's next, a 20 mile bike path? Oh, wait.

Chicagoan 

A resident who lives or was born in Chicago. They are very proud of their city, which is a beautiful one. Sometimes they will try to compare it to the greatest city in the world (New York City) which is unacceptable.
Chicagoan: Chicago is the best city in the world and New york city is not

Chinese people: oh new york!!! I love nyc, but what the fuck is a "chicago"?

Indian: Yea, I never heard of a "Chicago" before, but I'd love to visit new york!
