<p>[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 10150994, member: 16407"]Cincinnati: the Queen City, aka Porkopolis. In Cincinnati, you say "Please?" when you didn't hear someone and you want them to repeat what they said. Apparently it's a literal translation of "Bitte?" auf Deutsch, since there were so many Germans in early Cincy, many settling in the 'Uber der Rhein' neighborhood (which of course was the Ohio river).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
