Os vários apelidos de Toronto

Você sabia que Toronto é conhecida por outros nomes (ou apelidos)? Seguem abaixo os mais famosos e os porquês eles foram dados.

Hogtown
A principal teoria sobre a origem deste apelido popular refere-se aos currais da Companhia William Davies, que já foi um dos maiores frigoríficos do Canadá. Davies, cuja empresa popularizou ‘peameal bacon’, processou mais de meio milhão de animais em sua planta em 1900. Davies morreu, ironicamente, após levar um coice de uma cabra.

The 416
O número 416 foi introduzido em 1947 para cobrir a área de Toronto e o sudoeste de Ontário. O cobiçado código de área 416 é agora um apelido para Toronto, mesmo hoje em dia havendo outros números. Até a década de 1960, o número de telefone de uma pessoa em Toronto começava com duas letras, dependendo da sua localização. “UN” para a University, “RI” para Riverdale, “PR” para a Princess, “WA” para Walnut, e assim por diante. Algumas placas antigas de lojas ainda carregam estes códigos perdidos.

T.O.
“TO” e suas variantes podem ser vistos em todos os lugares. Desde título de livros até nomes de empresas. John Tory usou em seu logotipo da campanha (John TOry) e o conselho de turismo usa recentemente em nome de um de seus programas. Uso de TO, TO, ou T Dot parece se originar de um desejo de encurtar o nome da cidade. É ou abreviação de “Toronto” ou “Toronto, Ontario,” dependendo de quem você perguntar. Tentei encontrar a fonte original, mas, infelizmente, não tive sorte.

The 6
Um riff de 416 (e, talvez, o mais recente 647, também), o apelido super cool de Drake para Toronto aparecerá pela primeira vez no título de seu próximo álbum ‘Views from the 6′.

YYZ
O código do aeroporto de Toronto é estranho, porque ele não tem nenhuma ligação com o nome da cidade em que atua. Os códigos de localização da International Air Transport Association (IATA) originaram na década de 1930. Todos os principais aeroportos canadenses começam com a letra Y, embora a maioria usa as próximas duas letras para indicar o nome da cidade: YVR para Vancouver, YOW para Ottawa, e assim por diante, Toronto, por uma razão desconhecida colocou YZ. O melhor uso de YYZ vai mesmo para a banda canadense Rush, que fez uma música com esse nome.
