Jacques Chirac (pronounced the same way).
- deviledeggs 5y agoChiraq isn't an insult, that's what people living there call it.
- dmos62 5y agoChiraq is calling Chicago a warzone. I never thought it was an insult.
- timelesscop 5y agoNo we don't, 99.9% of Chicagoans aren't drill rappers.
- deviledeggs 5y agoHahaha. I lived there and we called it that all the time. More common among friends living on south side tho
- cpher 5y agoI live on the southside and I don't hear anyone calling it Chiraq.
- HKH2 5y agoNot quite the same. The French 'i' is an 'ee' sound.
