Щас сотру последнюю запись. Как же много могут сделать пару шуток.
Воть, опять же, как же это всё правда... даже смешно!!!
Я уверенна что никто не поймёт, т.к. из Чикаго тут я одна...
Вот короче:
ТЫ ЖИВЁШь В ЧИКАГО ЕСЛИ.... (Are you from Chicago?)
The "Living Room" is called the "front room" (pronounced fronchroom) смотря кто, и фрончроом тоже бывает
You don't pronounce the "s" at the end of Illinois. You become irate at people who do. да, блин, какая С... не Иллиноис а Иллиной
You measure distance in minutes (especially "from the city"
. And you swear everything is pretty much 15 minutes away. ха-ха, постоянно... я в 20 минутах от города ))
You have no problem spelling or pronouncing "Des Plaines". хих, тама кстати русских куча!
Your school classes were canceled because of cold. Ага......
Your school classes were canceled because of heat. И такое бывало...
You've had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day. Ну блин, каждый второй день...
Stores don't have sacks, they have bags. Yup... what the hell is a sack??
You end your sentences with an unnecessary preposition. Example: "Where's my coat at?" or "If you go to the mall I wanna go with." постоянно, а разве это только в чикаго?...
Your idea of a great tenderloin is when the meat is twice as big as the bun, "everything" is on it and a slice of dill pickle is on the side. угу... чем больше тем лучше, а другое всё на стороне)))
You carry jumper cables in your car. и я и все кого я знаю...
You drink "pop." ага, ну не "soda" же...
You understand that I-290, I-90, I-94, and I-294 are all different roads. конечно, а то заблудиться тут можно))
You know the names of the interstates: Stevenson, Kennedy, Eisenhower, Dan Ryan, and the Edens. да, знаю, а подругому нельзя
But you call the interstates "expressways". haha... yup
You refer to anything South of I-80 as "Southern Illinois". опять же да.. ))
You refer to Lake Michigan as "The Lake". а кто-то нет?)))
You refer to Chicago as "The City". опять же, тут все так)))))
"The Super Bowl" refers to one specific game in a series of 35 played in January of 1986. ummmm...
No matter where you are, when you hear the term "Downtown" you immediately assume they're talking about Downtown Chicago. ага... это я и во флориде думала, когда об Орландо говорили
You have two favorite football teams: The Bears, and anyone who beats the Packers! Go BEARS!!!!!!!!
You think 35 degrees is great weather to wash your car! )))))))))) why not?
You know what goes on a Chicago Style Hot Dog. да-да...
You know what Chicago Style Pizza REALLY is. тоже да
You kno w why they call Chicago "The Windy City". ну так, живу-то тут
You understand what "lake-effect" means. umm.. вообще-то неочень
You know the difference between Amtrak and Metra, and know which station they end up at. да-да, но Metra пару раз заблудились... хотя щас всё знаю
You have ridden the "L". YEs yes yes...
You can distinguish between the following area codes: 847, 630, 773, 708, 312, & 815 ... да!!! 630 - это мой.
You have at some time in your life, used your furniture to guard your parking spot in winter. ну так, на spring fling
You respond to the question "Where are you from" with a "side" example: "WEST SIDE", "SOUTH SIDE" or "NORTHSIDE." лол, точно, я из west side!!!
You know what the phone number is to Empire Carpet! кто не знает, достали уже с коврами 1-800-588-2300 EMPIRE!
Мне это всё было смешно, т.к. всё оч правда.
Доказано что я с Чикаго и уже думаю по нашему, Чикагскому.!!!
Воть, опять же, как же это всё правда... даже смешно!!!
