New York City, Jersey’s Union City, Boston, Atlanta, Los Angeles and many others have their own unique set of provincial colloquialisms (jargon and slang to us guys). If anyone is thinking about writing a novel that takes place in Chicago, you’re in luck. Having mostly grown up in and around the city, I have compiled a tiny dictionary of local terms and expressions to help your character dialogue become more authentic. Like most hometowns, you won’t find this slang anyplace else in the country. So, in no particular order, here goes. CLOWNS – A group of people, usually with something in common, but not necessarily. “How do I get a hold of those clowns down the block?” GOAT RODEO – An old-fashioned shit-show where kids are trying to act like grownups. The image of children riding goats instead of horses is an image you cannot un-see. “The company I’m working for is a real goat rodeo.” SAMMICH – I bet you don’t believe this word really existed, but it does. “Gimme one of dem I-talian sammiches with peppers. Oh, and dip it in dat dere sauce.” WASHROOM – We don’t go to the bathroom or the powder room in Chicago. We go to the washroom. “I gotta go to the washroom really bad. Which way is it?” YOUS GUYS – Refers to the people to which you are speaking. “Hey what are yous guys doin’ tonight?” FRUNCHROOM – In English, this translates to the front room, or what normal people call the living room. “You can’t eat supper in the frunchroom.” Full story here: https://lnkd.in/eRwr9TJx #paulhollis
