As well they should be. :)
I've been to/driven through all those towns except for Quincy and Shelbyville (though I've been near Shelbyville--in Pana). |
Incidentally, a quick look on Google shows that the term "wisconsinites" has a lot of hits--"wisconsonians" also has some, though nowhere near as many as the former.
|
hey, I've been to the Steak 'n Shake between Shelbyville and Pana. Groovy baby.
I loved going to Quincy as a kid, right on the Mississippi, its a pretty, old river town. And we'd go over the river to Hannibal and suck up all the Mark Twain vibes. I was really into it, (although I wanted to play Huck, not Becky Thatcher.) |
I believe the "oofical" designator of the ending is determined by the spelling of the state in question.
For Example, California = Californian Nevada = Nevadan North Carolina = North Carolinian Wisconsin = Wisconsonian Now, I'm sure there are exceptions (Hawaii comes to mind) but in general, I think that is the way it (is supposed) to work. |
And based upon that, people from Maryland and Massachusetts are called... ?

Tax slaves

I don't think taxes were that bad in Maryland...at least in 1999-2000.
Now if you want to talk about true tax slaves, let's talk about the District of Columbia. |

According to Infoplease.com, a resident of Maryland is a Marylander, and a resident of Massachusetts is a Bay Stater.
Infoplease State Locator Choose the state then go down on the left side for the Resident term. *kiss Dave* You coulda found that, sweetie. This is a listing of all residents, by state. |
I like this one for CT: "Nutmegger"

Infoplease are a bunch of lying bastards. Alaska is not, repeat not, south of Texas.:p
