1. I've always thought...

that people from NJ were "New Jerseyians" not ites. But then again I never really though about it, I could be wrong

[elperromagico]

5. You could be right.

I've heard all sorts of names for residents of various states. Michigan is particular seems to yield a wide variety of names.

[CO Liberal]

8. I Heard Both Growing Up In New Jersey

But we had another name we used for ourselves - "lucky".

:-)

[Beware the Beast Man]

2. Folks from Maine are "Down-Easters"

So I've heard...

[No2W2004]

3. I think in Illinois

it's either Chicagoans, Downstaters, or Flatlanders.

and Wisconsin is CheeseHeads.

[mtnester]

12. Generally, would you be ILLINI?

rather than Illinoisians?

[No2W2004]

13. True, but nobody uses that

unless they attend U of Illinois.

[SarahB]

4. People from CT are Nutmeggers.

:)

[No2W2004]

6. People from Indiana are Hoosiers.

[mtnester]

7. Let me correct you on Ohio

The correct term is "Buckeye"

No on in ohio would call themselves an Ohioan. If asked, they say "Buckeye"

You gotta live here I guess

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. My friends back in the 'Burgh call me an "Ohitian"

pronounced oh-HEE-shan. I kind of like the sound of it.

[mtnester]

17. Now that I have never heard before

You KNOW in Ohio

We swim in a crick
we warsh our clothes
we prolly won't dry them
We take guided turs when we are out of town

Heh heh, I know there are more, but that is all my brain is allowing right now, it is that sleepy time of day when a nap would be nice

[KamaAina]

9. In local usage, "Hawaiians" are the indigenous Polynesian people

who have been unable to obtain Federal recognition, like what hundreds of American Indian and native Alaskan tribal nations have, thanks to our favorite neo-fascist political party.

All of us who live here collectively are referred to as "Hawai'i residents", "Islanders", or (wait for it) "kama'aina", distinguished from "malihini" or visitors.

[elperromagico]

14. If I'm ever campaigning in your state

- hey, it could happen! - I'll be sure to refer to you as Islanders. :)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

11. Careful...the Hoosiers are gonna string you up for that one

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[elperromagico]

18. Wouldn't be the first time.

;)

[Richardo]

15. I once met a woman from Maryland who referred to herself as a 'Baltimoron'

I found this endearing. Is it a common self-effacing term?

[MuseRider]

16. Kansas Jayhawkers n/t

[Southpaw Bookworm]

19. Not a state

But how could you forget the District of Columbia, America's last colony?

[elperromagico]

22. I meant to ask about that,

but I left it out in listing all the others. What is a resident of the District of Columbia called? A DCer?

[Richardo]

25. A Columbian?

:)

[TXlib]

20. TX - dumbasses

[arwalden]

21. Folks From Connecticut Are "Nutmeggers"... Correct?

[elperromagico]
