I am from California. I am called a Californian. What are people from Wisconsin called: Wisconsonians?

They're called luckier.

We're called....PACKER FANS!

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.:)

How bout Whiskies?

Or at least that part of the state of Missouri. ;)

*smack!*

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.)

[COLOR=indigo]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.

[COLOR=indigo]According to Infoplease.com, a resident of Maryland is a Marylander, and a resident of Massachusetts is a Bay Stater.

I like this one for CT: "Nutmegger"
