Urban Dictionary definition: "The inevitable delay that will always occur during layovers at Denver International Airport."
Westword example: "I'm sorry to have to miss your New Year's party, but you know what Denver delay's like. How about New Year's 2013?"

1. Denver

Urban Dictionary definition: "One of the best cities ever! Some of you guys who don't like Denver have only experienced the lame people. Which, yeah, there is a fare share of lame people, but that's just like any other city. Once you get past the lame asses you will meet some of the chillest and most unique people. Maybe ever thought the reason people drive so slow is that they are high? Colorado weed is the shit! Every city has their problems so stop baggin' on Denver! And who ever said Denver was a party city? That doesn't make it any less cool.If you truly hate Denver then I am thinking you aren't even chill enough to be here."
Westword example: This dude/lady said it all. Forget Mayor Hancock's "world-class city where everyone matters" motto, and let's focus on this.

Bonus round: Try to use all of these phrases in the same paragraph; then reflect on the quality and purpose of your life.

As a new immigrant (Oct 11), I truly think people who haven't lived here don't understand it. They think "ooooh, Denver... .lots of snow, cold hard winters like Montana and hot humid summers like Phoenix".... WRONG.  But, we don't tell them, so they will LEAVE.  The true hidden secret of Denver is the weather, and then comes the people.  Such a friendly and fun town, and as is referenced in the article.  the weed is the SH*T!
