Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Landed in Chicago 45 minutes ago and the man next to me on the Blue Line just ended his phone call with “ya, I gotta get home to give Butkus a steak” which is in the top 5 percent of Chicago sentences you can hear 381881142
Schwarziest (fuck Trump edition) @schwarziest.bsky.social · 10/07/2025That guy really loves his Butkus. 010
Dwayne Jarrell @dwaynejarrell.bsky.social · 11/07/2025Would be spelled different in any other city 000
C @ctuley.bsky.social · 11/07/2025The Chicago equivalent of when I got to Heathrow and immediately heard a guy say to his friend “yeah, that’s a good shout.” 020
Alex @alex.bsky.team · 10/07/2025I was walking to dinner in Chicago 2 years ago when 3 guys in purple suits walked past me and I overhead one of them say "yeah, he’s a cocksucker — sure can sell cars, though!" 1231
SpookyKrysz👻 @edwoodk.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Does Chi-caaa-go have steak trees or are steaks a nickel a pound there? 000
(insert indycar pun) @openwheel.racing · 10/07/2025I think if you changed steak to hot dog, it would be the most Chicago sentence ever uttered. 010
dmercer00.bsky.social @dmercer00.bsky.social · 10/07/2025I’m picturing a Pomeranian, maybe a Maltese. 0240
robertmiller3.bsky.social @robertmiller3.bsky.social · 11/07/2025You guys are making up all these crazy scenarios when Occam's razor says this guy is the Butkus family chef. 050
Joe Flynn @chinajoeflynn.bsky.social · 10/07/2025I always thought it was weird that Stallone called his dog Butkus in the ROCKY movies. Wouldn't a Philly guy call his dog Chuck Bednarik? 040
Scooter McGruder @chambersol.bsky.social · 10/07/2025That man was Brian Urlacher and he was talking with his Hari plug doc. Now it’s the top 0.01% 210
Dragon0131 @dragon0131.bsky.social · 11/07/2025Great name for a pup, great nickname for a wife (trust me you don’t mess with a N side gal). My kids saw him in the FedEx ad for the Super Bowl. Pointed him out & told him he scared the other team just by looking at them. Son’s reaction was “i don’t want to meet him in an alley in daylight.” 010
Horrified, Lydia @lfillingham.bsky.social · 11/07/2025I met a dog today, owner pronounced the name twice and I think it was Slab? Are there people who would name their dogs Slab? 100
Virginia S. O'Possum, but scary @virginiaopossum.bsky.social · 10/07/2025I knew a couple in college who named their puppy "Butkus." Well, *he* named it Butkus. Because one night it got off the leash and she was calling it, but she couldn't bear to say "Butkus" out loud. So she was, like, whisper-calling this puppy. 070
Todd Brommelkamp @toddbrommelkamp.bsky.social · 11/07/2025Only way it would be better is if he said he had to stop at the Jewels to pick it up. 030
Tom Fornander @tom4nander.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Did he have a mustache? Extra Chicago power if he was over 50. 030
Patrick @onequietcorner.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Hope he made it home. Wouldn't want Butkus to get bupkis for dinner. 060
DDagger2024 @ddagger2024.bsky.social · 10/07/2025I hear ya. My brother’s friend in high school had a huge dog named Butkus and he was a Giants fan 😀 020
Christopher Standish @chris5tandish.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Beautiful. And I was to announce mine was the 666th like. 000
Nick Michalak, RavensFilm Productions @ravensfilm.bsky.social · 11/07/2025One of my grandmas had a BIG black dog named Butkus when I was a kid. 010
djcnote34.bsky.social @djcnote34.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Could be a pet, child or wife to be honest 040
jamiereidy.bsky.social @jamiereidy.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Butkus was the bane of Rocky's dog, right? 200
Mikey Hates It 𓅃 @mikeyalexander.bsky.social · 11/07/2025It would be hilarious to learn it actually was Butkus at his home. 000
Chumsmum @chumsmum.bsky.social · 11/07/2025You haven’t really been to Chicago until you hear “ over by dere”. 280
borne81.bsky.social @borne81.bsky.social · 10/07/2025I keep waiting for us to not be like this but I bought a “da pope” shirt instead. I can’t help it. 0301
the lakeshore undead @thecorlew.bsky.social · 11/07/2025I once was denied entry to a bar bc Butkus and Robert Horry were partying there 050
