A fork of Rural Dictionary
a. From an acronym for Chicago, i.e., "Shit-Headed Yahoo Town." b. A term of derision for a lunatic city that deserves every whit for giving America an unrivaled gaggle of thieves, murderers, perverts, gangsters, hoodlums, thugs, corrupt politicians and assorted societal misfits that boggles the mind. c. A town teeming with Shit-Headed Yahoos who continually vote for the dregs of themselves to run the government. d. A term hated by actual SHY Chicagoans who try to redeem their reputation by insisting "SHY" really means "chi" (actually a Chinese word and Greek letter) and insist it is used only by non-Chicagoans (which is generally true).
Why da' Shy Town hood pimpz voted fo' da' B-Ho? Ya'll is mad stupid.
The wrong way to spell Chi-Town, which is a nickname for Chicago, Illinois, and has nothing to do with "shy"ness at all. Only tourists spell it Shy-Town, and it's really annoying to have to correct.
Tourist: I'm going to stop in Shy-Town on my trip! Chicagoan: Good Lord, not another one...
It’s not Chicago. It’s a place Where lots of people live, like Pete Krebs and Elliott Smith. And yes, even though we live in shytown, we’re still fine. Quit asking.
I live. I liiiiiive. I live in a shy town
