How do you scream "Nomar" in a Chicago accent? |

do a lame imitation of a dog yipping while saying "arf. arf." Reeeeal short 'ar' sounds.
That's the 'ar' you want.
Make the long 'o' sound down low in your mouth, somewhat toward the back of your throat. Don't swallow the 'o' or you'll be doing a Wisconsin country accent.
Make sure both syllables are fairly short, with a little bit of separation between them, but not quite a glottal stop.
What's a nomar???

3. Yeah, I used to live in Chicago, so... |

...I tried approximating it with "No-MRRR".
Guess some things just don't translate.

another Achilles heel on the mend.
Maybe the Cubs are going for a volume discount with their orthopedic doctor.

6. Thanks for the reminder |

That's a great trivia question for the uninitiated, by the way.
