My personal favorite was the response from a poster on Flyertalk.com who thought it said Met Ron at Urinal.

People in Seattle -speaking from my limited but first hand experience- either haven't heard of this or are embarrassed at its stupidity.

Though I did get points for knowing about this Fodor's forum thread & that people from all over are getting a laugh about it!

Gardyloo: Thanks for the laugh.

The first word that came to my mind was metrosexual, so I thought it was some sort of fashion statement.

I thought it was a 'medical' term, sort of like getting yourself primed to talk to your pubesent daughter about the forthcoming trials of womanhood ...but 'naturally.

No dumber than Charlotte, NC's "SSShhh-lotte" one. Print ads have people with index finger at mouth giving a "shh" look. I think it's suppose to be Charlotte is understated but a lot is going on in the area. Every time I see the ad I go "Charlotte starts with a CH"

Durham, NC just went through this and came up with:

Durham: Where great things happen

Somebody spent a lot of money for that phrase.

A few years back, Orange County, NC (where Chapel Hill is located) came up with "You'll be a fan for life" I like that one.

I just looked up Charlotte's ad in a magazine, the correct spelling is

Shhhhhharlotte

Still think it's pretty lousy. Glad my tax$$$ didn't go for it.

That's $$$$$hitty.

GoTravel - don't you mean chitty???

"Matronatural"...isn that another word for "rainy"???

Even Naturalmetro would have been better!

P_M, if you are not experiencing metronatural symptoms yet, my guess is - you would be Peri-Metronatural... so I guess this means you are just sorta there but not yet..
Less bathing and stop wearing make-up..( what in the world do they call Portland Oregon then?)

(what in the world do they call Portland Oregon then?)

TriMetronatural.

Gardyloo, some of us were just discussing our favorite around the house uniforms in the Lounge - old lady cotton briefs, sweats, no bra . . . maybe us city dwellers in that uniform would be considered metronaturals. Whatcha think?

Mayabae it's a new term for 'bird flu"

I thought of the people that get together at a restaurant in NYC once a month, to eat in the buff.

Keith

ahhhh... urban nudists

that's an interesting interpretation
