Chambana

Champaign + Urbana = Chambana

Term that should be used by townies when referring to the city they grew up (Champaign-Urbana, IL).

"Chambana is a much bigger town than Rantucky."

"Dude, you really need to come back to Chambana so we can hang out."

townies

People who grew up in the city/town you live in/are referring to.

The opposite of a tourist. A tourist would have to gather information about the place they are travelling (sites, restaurants, rest stops, etc.). A townie would be the one to give the tourist that information since that person would hold a wealth of knowledge about that city/town.

Townies will wear t-shirts representing their city/town/state (or all of the above) even if they do not currently live in that city/town/state.

"Those dudes look like a bunch of townies. Let's ask them which bar to go to after this one closes."
