Shy Town 

a. From an acronym for Chicago, i.e., "Shit-Headed Yahoo Town."

b. A term of derision for a lunatic city that deserves every whit for giving America an unrivaled gaggle of thieves, murderers, perverts, gangsters, hoodlums, thugs, corrupt politicians and assorted societal misfits that boggles the mind.

c. A town teeming with Shit-Headed Yahoos who continually vote for the dregs of themselves to run the government.

d. A term hated by actual SHY Chicagoans who try to redeem their reputation by insisting "SHY" really means "chi" (actually a Chinese word and Greek letter) and insist it is used only by non-Chicagoans (which is generally true).
