F.I.B. : The Derogatory Nickname Cheeseheads Call Illinoisans

- I'm from Milwaukee but I've never shared the hatred Wisconsin people have for Illinois people. When I was a kid I loved going to Six Flags in Gurnee, IL and, as a comedy fan, had nothing bur reference for the iconic comedians that came from Chicago's Second City (John Belushi, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Harold Ramis, Christ Farley, Dan Castellaneta, Jeff Garland, etc., etc., etc.).
But the hatred is real...SO real that Wisconsin folks call Illinois folks "F.I.B.s", which does't stand for "friendly Illinois buddies."
I'm F.I.B. now and I think I have a good theory on why Wisconsin hates its neighbor-to-the-south so much. - Комедії
I’m originally from Chicago but these days reside in Orange County, California. I was at L.A. Airport one time getting off a flight and helped this woman with her luggage. She thanked me and asked me where I was from. I responded by telling her that I was originally from Chicago Then she said to me “You’re a FIB”. I answered her back by saying, “Why don’t you tell your little girl what that means, this way she will start hating me at a young age”. The woman was speechless! I told her that I actually lived in her state of Wisconsin for two years and because of people like her, I would never visit Wisconsin again! I have to honestly say that it felt real good saying that!
😆I'm from Milwaukee and told one of my co-workers that WI people call Illinois people "FIBs". She asked what it meant and I said "F*ucking Illinois B*stards." She said "OMG they hate us THAT much?!"
It's kind of like how so many Canadians hate Americans and Americans are completely oblivious.
I never experienced any animosity from Canadians! I played hockey in Calgary in 1997, and the local residents treated me very well! In the state of Wisconsin, I experienced a lot of animosity just because I was born in Chicago. My last visit to Wisconsin was in 2004. I haven’t been back since and have no plans to ever visit that state again!
THE SATURDAY NIGHT JOKE
An Engineer dies and goes to Hell. Dissatisfied with the level of comfort, he starts designing and building improvements. After a while, Hell has air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators.
The engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day God calls and asks Satan, "So, how's it going down there?"
Satan says, "Hey things are going great! We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."
God is horrified. "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake - he should never have gone down there! You know all engineers go to Heaven. Send him up here! "
Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff. I'm keeping him."
God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue!”
"Yeah, right," Satan laughs, "and where are you going to get a lawyer?"
when it comes to our driving we are aggressive due to the fast paced nature of Illinois since it's the most fast paced state in the Midwest but there is a catch we are well aware of our surroundings but despite our awareness we still take our aggressive driving up north since Wisconsin is a more laid back state and that left many Wisconsinites upset and since the neighbors up north consider our driving bad because of us being aggressive some Illinoisans resorted to yelling at Wisconsin drivers when they come down south and Illinoisans began to consider Wisconsin drivers as slow, so the whole driving thing is pretty much a mess at this point
I don't know the stats, but I don't think Illinois gives out as many speeding tickets as Wisconsin. That might be a factor as well.
@@chicago-bob true
After visiting places like Texas and Alabama I am going to start cutting Illinois some slack. You boys down south arent nearly as horrid as southern drivers.
I believe that some of the friction between Illinois and Wisconsin also comes from hunting and fishing. A lot of Wisconsin guys say I don’t go to Illinois to hunt and fish why do they come up here?
I think FIBs hunt and fish in Wisconsin because deer and fish are allowed to vote in Illinois.
Great hearing from you Andy! Is the dangerously strong open mike still happening at Rounding Third Sunday nights?
@@chicago-bob It’s still happening against all odds.
It's also because they buy up all the lake front property as there summer vacation homes and keep the local who live there out.
