From Georgia=Georgian. What are you?

Ontarian checking in. Being born and raised in Toronto (the outskirts of which, where I live, are referred to by locals as the Greater Toronto Area, or GTA), that also makes me a Torontonian.

I also lived in Sebright for a while. That made me an idiot.

I’ve heard them call themselves Minneapolitans, but that’s those people on the other side of the river, so we don’t pay them much attention.

Being a native of Indiana makes me a Hoosier (HOO-zher.) Indianian is also correct.

I live in Anderson, so I’m an Andersonian.

I went to Anderson High School, where the students are called Indians.

I know these aren’t specific, but those from Maine and Massachusetts are Yankees. Maine? Down Easter maybe?

Utah? I would avoid mentioning them at all cost. :wink:

New Yorkers is easy enough, but what about Albany? I’ve heard people call themselves Albanians but…already been done and just doesn’t cut it for me. Generally I just say “upstater” anyway, if I have to, though I prefer “from upstate”.

Connecticut checking in…here we are Connecticutions…I too have heard our neighbors to the north are Massholes (no offense, I didn’t make it up)…

A guy I work with is from Maine and he calls the residents of his home state “Mainards” as in, “You ahhn’t really a Mainard until you have three generations in the ground.”

From Maryland, so Marylander… or from Baltimore and Baltimoron. :wink:

I’m from New Zealand, you can call me a Kiwi, or more formally, a New Zealander. In New Zealand I’m from Otago, I have no idea what we called ourselves. I don’t think we really made much of a distinction about the province.

Someone from Auckland was an Aucklander
Wellington = Wellingtonian (I think)
Dunedin = Dunedinite
Christchurch = ?

I’m from Leeds and i’m called a loiner, the reasons for which aren’t clear but there are some theories:

Personally I think it’s because we look great in loincloths.

…and the Yoopers call us Trolls because we live under the bridge.

Heh! Lived for a number of years in Altamont (south of Schenectady),and always identified myself a "from UPSTATE New York to avoid people thinking I was from NYC if I said just “New Yorker.” :smiley:

That’s why I say it, too, because even New Yorkers think anything north of say, White Plains, is Canada.

I believe that’s against board policy unless in the Pit! :smiley:

I am a Garden Stater or Jersian, occasionally a New Jerseyans.
I identify as an Italian-American even though I am only ½ Italian.
Ultimately I am an American.

But I do live within walking distance of the best kebab shop in town…shame I don’t eat the blummin’ things!

Living in Calgary makes me a Calgarian. Since Calgary is in the province of Alberta, I’m also an Albertan.

For a while when I was an Ontarian, I lived in a small town called Stouffville (pronounced STOW-ville). There was always a debate about what those of us who lived in that town were called. The town officials and local media seemed to prefer “Stouffvillites,” but a number of us liked “Stouffvillians” just for fun. Made us sound dangerous. :wink:

I’m a Michiganian. To the point where, when the Detroit Free Press* writes Michigander, I mentally pronounce it Michiganian. Michigander just seems silly.

  • IIRC, they took a poll of their readers to decide which to use.

Whoops, make that “Stouffvillains.” Damn spelling… grumble, grumble

I’m from Florida where we’re know as Floridians. (note the vowel change) I know live in Texas and everyone knows we’re called Texans. I also live in Austin and am an Austinite. For other Texas cities, I think it’s Houstonite, San Antonian, but I’m not sure about Dallas (or Lubbock, for that matter. Lubbobkian? :slight_smile: )
