Illinois
As an Illinoian, I am curious about Illinois sex. It also reminds me of a joke.
- Why does corn in Illinois lean east?
...Because Indiana sucks and Iowa blows.

Why? It's not like you're getting any!
That's not the point! Like what differentiates it? Just because the sex happened in Illinois? That's nothing special. What might make it special is pulling a Belmont transfer when she least expects it...like in the back of a Volkswagen...
Is it spoken "illi-noise" or "illi-noy"?
People who live there call it the latter.
Unless you're Sufjan Stevens. I'll give him a pass on that
I always interpreted that title as a bit of a joke about the way people mispronounce it.
Same. That's why there's a pass.
latter. same as Des Moines being pronounced "da-moyn"
And Des Plaines, La Salle Street... I always keep telling my husband, "no, that's not what it's called" and he keeps getting rationally mad.
If we're feeling the Indiana, there's always Terre Haute.
Terror Hoe?
Terra hoat but make the last t super soft
I like to pronounce it the first way, just because my dad is from Illinois and it annoys him.
because ill-annoys him
