DOWNTOWN — SUE the sassy T. rex has — once again — gotten into a Twitter fight.

The T. rex, who once graced the Field Museum’s great hall, took to Twitter over the weekend to dunk on New York City. And Portland. And St. Louis.

Yes, SUE took on three cities at once, playfully tweeting that New York smells, Portland has weird carpet and St. Louis is … St. Louis.

The dinosaur’s harshest words came for New York, which “smells like milk left out in the sun.” Chicago, meanwhile “has a chocolate factory downtown so everything smells like a batch of freshly baked cookies.”

Of course, Twitter spats are nothing new for SUE. The T. rex is famous for cheeky tweets on Twitter, where it has more than 42,000 followers.

SUE even got into a friendly fight with the Shedd Aquarium in late July.

Here’s the latest tit-for-tat in all its glory:

The dinosaur also took swipes at Portland, Oregon, and St. Louis.
