I never understood "Oz" for Australia when the real wonders are in New Zealand.<BR><BR>Philly for Philadelphia has always been close to me heart!

Morgan City, Louisiana is "Morgan Shitty".<BR><BR>I call the state of Illinois "Ill" (as in sick).

Kansas City is NOT cowtown..Ft. Worth is. KC is the red headed step child of St. Louis. <BR><BR>Can't believe no one posted this:<BR><BR>Chi-town for Chicago. <BR>Chicagoland for the whole metropolitan area. <BR><BR>Dallas- metroplex.

Calli,<BR><BR>Dallas is not the Metroplex. Dallas AND Fort Worth together make up the Metroplex.

Portland, OR is sometimes affectionately called Stumptown.

YOU...you are correct....DFW is called the metroplex..sorry!<BR>Guess I was thrown off track by all the other Dallas posts above. <BR><BR>

Calli: Kansas City calls itself Cowtown (despite the derogatory intent). It's all over from a local T-shirt store named "Cowtown T's", to websites, to columns in the newspaper about "Cowtown Information", etc.<BR><BR>"Something": the name "Oz" for Australia has nothing to do with the Wizard of Oz. It's a phonetic nickname. Australia is abbreviated AUS, and with an accent it sounds like "Ozz". Australians are called Aussies, which to the ears of Americans sounds like "Ozzies".
