The Chicago Bears defeated the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game today, saving the English language.
The Saints, sentimental favorites of Americans everywhere who love to say things like "irregardless," "effect" when they should say "affect," and "but yet," had a slogan that will be judged by history as the dumbest fucking slogan in the history of slogans: "Who Dat?"
On behalf of English speakers the world over, thank you, Chicago Bears.
The Saints: Disappointing people who say "theatre" with a "hard 'A'."
Edit: Crap. I just realized I live in Chicago. This place is going to be insufferable.

Don’t the Bears fans say, “DA Bears”??
But, I’m glad DA Bears won, and I live in N.O.!!!

Pete, that’s a good point. I fear that my ears just no longer hear it as I’ve lived in this tundra for quite a while now.

Q, aren’t you also one of the “Cowboy Up” Red Sox Massholes? This post couldn’t have possibly gone any worse for you.

Yeah, but if you stick around long enough, at least he stops being annoying.

People who use the terms Soda, Pop or any combination of the two, are not aloud to make fun of how we talk down here. Those two words trump anything we may say.
Plus the Saints are in New Orleans. That is cajun country and “Dat” is how those cajuns talk.
