if your reffering to my ex girlfriends yes!

Chicago is known as the 'Windy City' but that's nothing to do with the weather.

Nineteenth-century journalists first gave Chicago this name when criticizing the city’s elite as “full of hot air.”

Yep, pine nuts are not nuts.

The phrase 'on the breadline' is commonly thought to have come from the time of the great depression which started in the United States in the 1930's when people had to line up to collect bread.
In fact the phrase was first used well before that.
The years from around 1870 to the turn of the 20th century were known in New York State as the Gilded Age due to the excessive affluence of the time.
Of course not all benefitted from that affluence and many suffered great poverty.
It was around that time when Louis Fleischmann, a millionaire baker opened the Vienna Model Bakery . At Christmas 1886 he established a unique charity, The Breadline to help those who were in poverty and ever since has been giving out unsold bread and in winter coffee to all who applied.

What a nice man....

So is a tomato.
