Answer 1

Favorite Answer

It means he has lived through the tough times of learning how to be a corrupt Chicago politician. Has lived through it and earned his "corrupt wing".

Don't get me wrong it is not just a Democratic thing, Republican, Independent, Libertarian as well.

Chicago breeds and nurtures corruption in politics like only one other place.

The place starts with WASHING and ends with TON.

Answer 2

"Chicago Tough" is a little like "New York Tough".

Except that the NY kind is no-nonsense all-business tough.

The Chicago kind has lots of layers. It's takes longer to make. It's a little spicier, but never showy like Miami tough.

It's a unique kind of American tough you can't find nowheres else.

You got a problem with that?

It means he can handle 110 degree heat indexes in the summer and 30 below wind chills in the winter. haha

Blue-collar (work hard), die-hard loyalty and a man who is good by his word and backs it up with a look in your eyes and a firm handshake. Its what Chicago has always been about and why we like it here.
