We have a word for Southerners in Chicago. We call them “tourists.” We even give them directions when they’re lost, and don’t mind doing it one bit. Even if great-great-uncle Seamus took a bullet at Bull Run.
Chicago? Who in the world would want to visit THAT place?
If there ever were a Civil War II and it fell out approximately the same way as last time, I wonder what all these transplant Yankees would do? Would they answer the call or become partisan southern backstabbers?
Being from southern Illinois, I'd have thought the word would have been LOST.
