NAPTOWN - what is it?

One of the many nicknames for Indianapolis, Indiana. It references the mispronunciation of the word by everyone in the state. Rather than saying INDIANA-polis, people in Indiana say India-NAP-polis.

I'ma Broad Ripple hesitant, Naptown resident.

The first definition is correct, however, over the past two decades, Naptown has grown into a term of endearment. Nap as in "Nappy" or "Tight".

NAPTOWN

Was DEFINITELY Indianapolis, Indiana first. Just because Annapolis, Maryland was founded first does NOT give them the right to steal the nickname Naptown. Very much like being the younger sibling sitting shotgun and the older sibling saying that just because they were born first means THEY get shotgun. Which is, in fact, A BITCH MOVE.

Person 1: Where's naptown again?
Person 2: Indianapolis, IN of course.
Person 1: Ooh, man I thought it was Annapolis.
Person 2: Nah, they stole it from Indy.
Person 1: Oh shit, what a BITCH MOVE.
