Really though, the only one that's had any staying power is Hogtown. The 6 is popular currently, though I doubt it's continued use will last more than a few more years. All the others are either antiquated or were never really used much to begin with (or were only ever used derisively). Canadians
do still like referring to cities by their airport codes for some reason though.
Also "New York run by the Swiss" was more a (mocking?) descriptor than a nickname.
