Someone once called it "Filli" in a text they sent me. I was more baffled when they tried to tell me after that how everyone in Philly spelled it that way, lol.

It was a t-shirt design in which the designer removed letters from the Phillies logo a few years back, in keeping with the whole "illadelph" slang nickname for Philly. It roughly coincided with the Phillies' world series run in '08, and was actually a pretty cool shirt. It's gotten really popular since (due in no small part to the many many people jumping on the Phillies bandwagon in the last few years), and lots of various knockoffs and ripoffs have appeared everywhere.

Ok then. I am relaxed. Philadelphia is also good. I've just never seen Phili (or any similar version) anywhere except on this board and it drives me nuts. Where does it come from?
