Isnt that because the Chicago version is very much like a deep dish pie with raised sides, as opposed to the Noo Yok style that we are used toA pizza pie is a specific type of pizza (or, a specific type of pie I suppose) and both have their place in the beautiful culinary landscape

Sorry if we've already had this and I've missed it but there's a convention amongst the youth that really winds me up. When typing an elongated word for emphasis they simply stick a load of whatever the last letter is on the end and my brain can't deal with it. Example thus:
Somebody on social media posts a picture of their new car and it get's a positive reaction. So to represent the verbal elongation of an approving word you may expect somebody to type "That's ni-ice" or perhaps " That's niiice". You get where the word is stretched immediately and move on. But the kids these days, damn them are typing "That's niceeee."
I know what they're trying to say but my brain simply won't have it and I imagine said youngster standing there, admiring a car whilst sounding like they've just fallen down a sinkhole.

Especially when the moon hits your eye.I guess that it only works on those of a certain age.
When I first heard it, I thought that Dean was singing,
“when the moon hits your eye, like a big piece of pie.”
When the ball hits your head and you're stood in row Z
It's Zamora ...

Did you not like"Kissin' in the back row of the movies"?
Actually, it was “Saturday Night at the Movies”, but you were in the ball park.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Drifters

Saturday night at the movies
Who cares what picture you see
When you're hugging with your baby
Last row in the balcony?

Salesmen going for the chummy/pally approach followed by the hard sell and trying to convince you that they're doing you a massive favour. Maybe it doesn't phase other people who deal with them but after 22 years in my role I find it very cliched and almost embarrassing now. Was massively refreshing to deal with a guy the other day who cut straight to the chase and didn't try to be my new BFF.

The Shadows, as in Cliff Richard, were called The Drifters when they started, but had to change the name due to the American group who by then had been around for some time.
ps. Hank Marvin's real name is Brian Rankin. (and is now CRS for being a bit peckish).
