Illinois

From RationalWiki

Illinois is the "Land of Lincoln". The preceding is a standard case of liberal deceit, as everyone knows Lincoln was born in Kentucky.

Peoria is in Illinois, and it always matters how things will play there.

Illinois is also home to the city of Chicahgo, known as "the city of broad shoulders" and "America's hog butcher". Chicago is also known for a local accent that essentially inverts the Northeastern accent -- instead of dropping final Rs and using mushy vowels, Chicagoans overenunciate their consonants and jam all their vowels into the fronts of their mouths.

The plural of Illinoisian is Illini.
