We're called....PACKER FANS!

Or....
Cow Tippers
|
I am from Missouri. I am usually referred to as a Kansan, especially by visiting rock bands and their ilk, as no one really seems to give a shit about this part of the country anyway.
|
Why, you're from Mizzurrah. I should know. I was born in Illinoise. Ah. Its all fly over anyway.:)

Where is the "uh" in "Missouri"? Huh? Yeah, I didn't think so! :) (For the record, both "mi-ZOOR-ee" and "mi-ZOOR-uh" are considered official pronunciations. I believe the last poll I saw showed a 50-50 split on how Missourians say it. Based on my 24 years there, "uh" is prevalent outside of St. Louis. Not sure how it is in the KC area.) |
Thats how my granddad (rural IL) said it. I also enjoyed his pronounciation of Hawaii (Hah-why-yah)
|
Where at in IL, warch?
|
Illinois: Grampa was born in Girard, lived a while in Effingham, my Dad was born in Red Bud, then the crew moved to Quincy, where grandma still is. Mom's side is from Shelbyville, and I got myself born in Mattoon. My folks now live in Edwardsville, spittin' distance from St Louis. Cardinal Fans,all.
|
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. |
Sconnies/cheeseheads/various derogatory terms based on 'packing' of materials/Those-damn-bubbler-people/Almost-Chicago-ans
|
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
