gonna start a heated discourse about being a native cantabrigian

Backformation, Cantabrigia = Latin version of Cambridge, shortened to Cantab as a demonym (a Cantabrigian comes from Cambridge). I have fond memories of the Cantab Lounge in the People's Republic of Cambridge, MA!

The Cantabrigian hill that I will die on is that Alewife doesn’t have to suck. It can be More City, and having a regional rail stop is part of that.

As a 4th gen Bostonian/Rozzie girl, current Cantabrigian, supporter of Big Government and SI prefix appreciator, I support this PO.

A, I don't believe that Cantabrigian is a real thing; I think you're completely taking the mick on that one.
