Posted April 30, 200421 yr I was thinking about how some people call Cincinnati – Cincitucky and Columbus – Cowlumbus. So I was wondering what we might call the other cities in Ohio???? I was thinking Dayton – Gayton? (no particular reason) Or maybe Akron – CrAkron? How about Cleveland – Leaveland (since everybody’s moving the fuck out of there) Toledo – Bloledo? What do you guy’s think?
April 30, 200421 yr I have heard "N*gga Nati" before in the Post. Apparently this is yelled out at City Council meetings...
April 30, 200421 yr Dayton's is The Gun City (a play off the Gem City nickname). Lima's is "The Bean." Akron's is Crackron. Cleveland's most famous is "Mistake by the Lake," along with Leaveland. Censornatti is another for Cincinnati. Columbus is "No Place" or "The C. Blow" Toledo is "T.Not" "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
April 30, 200421 yr And Youngstown's is "Yamnden" "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
April 30, 200421 yr Why do they call it the Gem City? Because its such a gem. (said sarcastically). I've also heard it called "Dirton" or "Dirttown" Or, "the northermost city in Kentucky". There actually are suburban neighborhoods called "Dogpatch" (in Moraine) and "Little Kentucky" (a part of Fairborn).
May 3, 200421 yr I thought of another one..... Columbitch we have a new name for coldayman, ColBitchMan
May 3, 200421 yr I've heard Censor-nazi (especially after the Mapplethorpe fiasco) which is pretty damn similar to Censornatti.
September 10, 200420 yr I have heard Hamiltucky before. Different spellings of Cincinnati: Nati Cincy Cinti Cinci Sinsinnati Zinzinnati Nati Nasty Nati Censornati Nati Nat The Nati
September 10, 200420 yr Remember when the Chamber of Commerce or economic development folks or somebody wanted to change Hamilton's official name to Hamilton! (with the exclamation point) to convey a sense of energy and excitement?<giggle! snort!> In the same vein, I've been trying to get Fort Wayne's name changed to fortwayne. to convey the sentiment of the old guard, that there's no nonsense and no excitement that that's just the way they like it, by God! In the late 1970's, Mad Magazine ran a strip about the fictional ultraconservative town of Dacron, Ohio, where the mayor's cross-dressing son had created a scandal involving numerous prominent citizens.
September 10, 200420 yr In the late 1970's, Mad Magazine ran a strip about the fictional ultraconservative town of Dacron, Ohio, where the mayor's cross-dressing son had created a scandal involving numerous prominent citizens. Sounds like a Martin Mull skit. Anyone remember Fernwood Tonight? Set in fictional Fernwood Ohio? But..Dacron...I like that!
September 10, 200420 yr ^ Totally does. I could see Mull and Willard in that. I remember Fernwood 2Night. I think they still show it every now and then on TV Land (which was the first time I saw it, incidentally).
September 24, 200420 yr ^^Couple of names I've heard for Akron are "the a.k." and "a-town" (of course Atlanta's nickname is "a-town"). Others for Cleveland are: The Land, DNA Level C, Land of the Scant, Theiveland, Land of the Heartless. I've just heard "the dirty Natti" for Cincinnati, and also Cincy. Columbus- the C.O. is the only nickname I've heard of for this town.
September 26, 200420 yr I have heard Cincinnati called the QC -- short for the Queen City. I have heard it called the "Queen" too. Of course, Cincinasti, Censornatti, CinciNazi, Rhineland, and many others. And by the way, what do you call a pretty girl in Cleveland? A tourist! I heard that from a Clevelander too. One good thing about being close to KY - Cincy has hot girls within reach. Poor Cleveland. Where are you going to go for hot girls - Erie, Akron, PA, MI?? Oh my.
September 27, 200420 yr that's a new one....KY having an abundance of hot girls? Maybe I just prefer girls with all of their teeth. haha im just playin
September 27, 200420 yr this topic made me think of some of the nicknames for the colleges in Ohio: Kent read, kent write, Kent State Wright State, wrong college bgSTDu UC=University of Convicts or Under Construction OSU people say Ann Arbor is a whore so the Michigan people say Columbus is a fag, but I think that's a pretty stupid one.
September 29, 200420 yr How about suburbs: Lakewood - Flakewood Eastlake - Greaselake Euclid - Pukelid East Cleveland - Hell Garfield Hts - Garbage Hts
January 25, 200619 yr Toledo = Toledon't Steubenville = Stupidville Weirton, WV = Weirdtown Youngstown = Gunstown Ashland = Assland Bucyrus = Buckeye Rust Cincinnati = Sinsinnati Wellston = Hellston Pittsburgh, PA = Buttsburgh Monroeville = Moronville or Maneurville (we always made fun of this in HS, as my high school has a big rivalry with Monroeville) ...........that's enough One more........... Cook County (Chicago) = Crook County (all of the dirty politics)
