The whole idea of a Chicago accent pisses the hell out of my wife, who is born and bred Southwest Side, not far from Midway actually. (I'm a California refugee.) She claims it does not exist, and rants every time she sees a character on TV try to talk Chicago style.

She exaggerates a bit, but it's true that most Chicagoans do not have an easily recognizeable accent. They could pass for Sacramento as much as Chicago.

I am from NY and frankly, I really don't see much of an accent here.
