Definition
Informal nickname for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the largest city in Pennsylvania and sixth-largest city in the United States. Also refers to the distinctive local culture, accent, and food associated with the city.
Etymology
Shortened form of Philadelphia, which comes from Greek philadelphia meaning 'brotherly love,' from philos 'loving' and adelphos 'brother.' The nickname emerged in the 20th century as a colloquial abbreviation.
Kelly Says
Philadelphia was actually the capital of the United States from 1790 to 1800, and it's where both the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed. The famous Philly cheesesteak was invented in the 1930s by Pat Olivieri, and the city's distinctive accent is known for pronouncing 'water' as 'wooder.'
