So it’s not likening St. Louis to a toilet? As in, “I am off to the loo.”

As an avid Cards fan, I believe “The Lou” is short for Saint Louis.

I have heard this phrase said aloud here. Does that make it real? Who knows

We did use "the Lou" to refer to USS St. Louis (LKA-116) in the early 1990s.

I think it’s part of some city-wide branding/tourism initiative that started a few years ago. Around the same time the Cardinals started wearing those jerseys, I began hearing it in radio commercials and stuff too. Haven’t lived in STL for a while, but I’m sure everyone there hates it

So “skip to the Lou” not about needing to pee.
