Every city has a knickname - Louisville is the Derby City, Nashville is Music City, etc. Every city also has native phrases that usually require translation when talking to a foreigner (translate: someone not from your city). I stumbled across Slanguage.com - a site that lists dozens of cities and their phrases and jargon. If your city isn't mentioned on there, they encourage you to email them with the city and the phrase and traslation. Check out the site - it's pretty cool. www.slanguage.com
