All one word.

Chicongonese

[I want the USA back]

This dialect should be allowed to disappear, along with Chicago.

Pronouncing Chicago. Do you say 1) Shi-ka-go or 2) Shi -caw-go? Asked where I was from I was accused of lying when I said it the #2 way. — Medi Antonia

We pronounce Chicago the No. 2 way, “Shi-caw-go.” Phonies say “Shi-kaah-go.” You know they’re phonies when they make a tough face when they say it. They’re simpering poseurs. It’s “Shi-caw-go.”

Dis is true. Dat is da right way to pronounce it.

I was born and raised in the great city of Chicago, and my Chicagoese manifests itself from time to time. For instance, when I'm in heavy traffic, and the guy in front of me is dving like a moron: "C'maahn! Whatcha doin'? Fer cryin' out loud!"
