Know Yourself

The annotation

The line that exported Toronto's nickname worldwide. 'The 6' compresses the city's 416 and 647 area codes — and the old six boroughs — into one syllable, and 'woes' (working on excellence) became the OVO shorthand for your day-one crew. After 2015 you could hear tourists saying 'the 6ix' in Yorkdale.
