It's been said that you need a passport to travel from the eastside to the westside, the dividing line being located halfway around the I-275 loop. If Cincinnati is just too cumbersome to employ in a conversation, here's the generally accepted alternative: "Cincy", which is considered polite slang. A cooler version is "The Nati". The correct abbreviation is as follows: "Cinti". If you book a flight to Cincinnati, you'll land at the Greater Cincinnati Airport, which is located in Kentucky. (don't ask) We know who we are. :) Edited July 24, 2018 by hairbear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaleefree Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Someone could get the false idea that "Nati Boh" is from Cincy though. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My college roommate freshman year, an Elder graduate, taught me how to spell the name by breaking it into three blocks: C-I-N C-I-N N-A-T-I. Here's a little quirk about Cincinnati that you surely know but don't mention: instead of saying "Excuse me?" or "Pardon me?" or "Could you repeat that?" if what they hear is unclear, a Cincinnati native will just say, "Please?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear it's great but from reading exactly what it is... it's kind of chili in quotes. Ever since I saw a show with Johnny Bench eating three-way Chili... I've been wanting to have some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Atlanta CV wasn't scored today in Atlanta, but I think they'd be pretty close to Cadets2's score if they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
