Chi-town slang is gritty, creative, and deeply rooted in the city's music and neighborhood culture. From drill rap to deep-dish debates, Chicagoans keep their language as bold as their winters.

"Put me on is used when you're telling someone to like, oh, okay, like introduce me to this thing. Let me know what it is or like, you know, maybe you're like eating somewhere or I don't know, like you're at a friend's house and they ordered food for you from a really good place and you wanted to ask what it is. You'd ask them to like put you on, or it could be music or like clothing. It can be just literally anything. Just put you on to something that's really good. An example would be, oh my God, who is this artist? This song is fire, put me on."
