New Yorker by birth (Buffalonian), Alabamian by way of most of my life, now Ohioan by residence (Lancastrian).
As far as Alabama goes, I lived in Birmingham and can never forget a comercial that gave funny names for some city residents–my favorite by far was “Birminghamster”.
Well, it’s been over twenty years since the (then) governor got the legislature to pass a bill making the official name “Michiganians.” However, I was born and raised a Michigander and I refuse to be identified by Silly Billy Milli-ken’s effete “Michiganian.” (Of course, for a while now, I’ve been a Michander living amongst the Buckeyes, but someday I’ll get to go home.)
I always thought a good name for a person from Connecticut would be a Connecticutup.
As for “Texian”, I always wondered if the etymology was from the area being called “Tejas”. On the other hand, the “i” would be easy to drop, and that’s probably what happened. I’ve never heard “Texican” applied as a general word to someone from Texas, but rather from someone on the border region (Texan/Mexican) - and frequently not in a complimentary way, so I avoid that usage.
I still haven’t figured out what we are now that we’re in New Hampshire. A New Hampshite? (maybe I just like saying that.) New Hampshiree? Shirefolk? Usually people up here are just “New Englanders”.
Oh, and jinty, “Mancunian=from Manchester” - can I assume you’re talking Manchester, England? Haven’t heard that one in Manchester, NH.
-Your Friendly New England Texan.
I’m aware of the term tejano, but was led to believe that meant the Hispanic population of the state, or a subculture within.
That’s correct, and it refers to a subset of music as well.
And if you’re from the isle of Lesbos, you’re a Lesbosian. They got tired of being teased…
You can safely assume that’s the one he’s talking about.
RichLather:
People from Birmingham over here are called Brummies.
A person from Sunderland (ten miles from Newcastle) is called a Mackem.
LOL!
And now you’re a Brummie.
“Taswegian” is pretty much a joke designation. You’ll never see it in anything official - the correct word is “Tasmanian”
“Taswegian” does get used a lot in general conversation tho’ - particularly by us Victorians who like to take the piss out of our Southern neighbors. We also like calling the island “Tasway” (though I kinda get a kick out of “Tasgow” myself)
According to Queenslanders, the correct term for someone who lives in Victoria/NSW is “Mexican” 
Flashback to something from Rocketeer’s past: “Are people from Delaware Delawarites or Delawarians?”
But what in heavens is that from? I cannot, for the life of me, remember… But it’s associated with Christopher Lloyd (I think).
