'The Six' is the coolest nickname for a city, tbh.

Lol, came here to post the exact same thing. You can get slapped in some areas if you say such a thing
Some alt righters are still fucking pissed that Ä°stanbul isn't theirs anymore.
I've legit seen "TAKE BACK CONSTANTINOPLE" advocated as a cause.
It's fucking hilarious lol

I've heard America's Finest City many times over the years, usually from politicians, but also in stuff like that stupid rap about wanting the the Chargers to stay.
My take on it is basically "Boring, but ok, sure.".
Plymouth Of The West makes sense I guess, but I haven't heard it in years.
Shit like Sun Dog has me going WTF, though. I believe you'd get slapped for that.
We live in city called West Chicago which has a high Hispanic population.
So people refer to it as "Wet Chicano" in a stereotypical accent.
Yes, it's awful and yes I tell people not to say it again.

How? lol
We questioned it when Drake started calling it that but then it stuck haha
We're also the Big Smoke
I dont live there anymore but boy, get ready for an earful if you call SF "Frisco" Or "San Fran"....its THE CITY....but those people also use "hella" constantly and unironically so what the fuck do they know?
I've never heard it but according to the internets some people have used it.
Amish Country.
Lancaster Is the 8th most populated city in Pennsylvania and is about 40 percent Latino (Puerto Rican by in large). It's very much a city of culture, arts, and music. It has very close ties to near-by Philadelphia. August Burns Red was the local band I grew up with as a teenager there. We're also the only blue district in the entire shit-ass county.
Drive 20 minutes outside of town, and yes, you can experience some Amish country.
Lancaster City ≠Lancaster County

Coming from Philly, I thought it was Amish Country too. My bad.
I went there a few times to record and perform. You guys have Sheetz instead of Wawa, I'll try not to hold that against you./s
Only name for Denton I ever heard was "Little D" in contrast to "Big D" for Dallas. Didn't really ever bother me.
There used to be Wawas when I lived here before as a kid. There's like one now and it's not in town. Sheetz took over.
Where did you record? Was it recently? My roommates own and run The Kaleidoscope Recording Studio (been around for a couple years now). I'm there constantly for shows.
San Fran
Frisco's always been a legit nickname stemming from the (shrinking) black and brown population. Anyone hating on Frisco because of an old ass Herb Caen article reeks of classism if not worse.

The Mile High City. The only time Denver natives mention Mile High is when talking about football.
Actually, I cringe more when native Houstonians call it "H-Town". I don't think we have many nicknames from outsiders
the scholars believe it translates to "A Whales Vagina"
NOOOOO! beaten!
Couple years ago when I was still heavy into hip-hop. I recorded with a group called "Live Percenter", but I couldn't tell you where I was only there for a few days. The gig was in the city but the stu was right off of the eway by a sheetz.
When the mountain folk come in and refer to Lexington KY as "The Big City." We are in no way in any definition a big city.
Whenever you tell someone you are from Glasgow and they say "Glesga" and follow it up with some stereotype sentence about drinking in a really bad Glaswegian accent. Fuck off.
