He was deriding the poster for calling Milwaukee Chicago's little brother:
FIB definition urban dictionary. The term isn't really isolated to automobile usage when I lived in WI it was used to describe all aspects of illini stupidity.
On a side note as someone who spent a few years in WI and having seen the KRM, High speed rail, and light rail killed glad to see some form of new rail transit finally make it's way back into WI. Hopefully this is the foot in the door that the Milwaukee area needs so they can start seeing some benefits of rail transit so other projects can get some momentum. From afar the streetcar proposal doesn't seem perfect, or as beneficial as some of the other rail proposals, but it's a step in the right direction. Congrats on getting past the political inertia of WI that seems to want to say no to everything that isn't a massive highway interchange project these days.
