What is The Bite?
1.
Slang word referring to the north eastern region of the U.S. state of Kansas.
The Bite is what prevents Kansas from being a true quadrilateral state like Colorado, Wyoming etc.
Most everyone recognizes "The Bite" as the best place in Kansas to live; unless they are from Wichita or Manhattan. The NE corner is home to quasi-cool places like Lawrence, Olathe, Overland Park and the state capital, Topeka. It's less dry and much less flat than western Kansas.
