I have always called it DF, as it's where my mom went to college, and that's what she called it. It was fun to see the many other names that people use.
I guess I'm old school because I still say DF. However, I've been practicing Chilangolandia, so maybe one day if it seems right and I can roll it off the tongue smoothly, I'll give it a go in the outside world. Great info, thanks, Mike I do enjoy the city and have traveled the metros. Lots to explore.
I am of the generation that called Mexico City DF and sometimes, Ciudad de Mexico. Mike, do you think that the time Mexico City was considered the largest (population-wise) city, they were counting the greater metropolitan area population?
Chilangolandia sounds too much like a Mexican curse word to me. I am not a prude... yet here I am pontificating...
Thanks for this history. My own general 'confusion on a slow boil' has been reduced.
