From Georgia=Georgian. What are you?

I looked, but couldn’t find support for any of the bolded part online. Do you have a cite for Michigander being more popular prior to 1980, for Michiganian being the official term, or for Governor Milliken being responsible for making it so?

From the State of Michigan’s online FAQ,

Actually, This looks like a promising site for answering the questions in my previous post, but you need paid access to see beyond the first page. Anyone here have access?

Just temporarily in the US, and originally from New South Wales, so New South Welshman (or in oldfashioned slang, Cornstalk).

Born in Sydney, so Sydneyite.

Mostly lived in Newcastle, so Novocastrian

OK, so you are “a solid solution in iron of carbon and certain other solutes.”*

*Yes, I know that the defined word has an “e” instead of and “i”.

That isn’t what I called the one in the auto ahead of me who slowed down drastically in the on-ramp to an expressway.

I think these two facts (coming from NJ and self-identifying as Italian-American) may be connected. The Jerseyites I knew (I’m a Marylander) seemed to adhere to the “one-drop” policy when determining who was Italian. :wink:

I think this one is a better fit for IMHO, rather than GQ, so let’s move it there.

samclem GQ moderator and Akronite.

And let’s improve the title so people know what it’s truly about.

I’m from New Jersey, so naturally I refer to myself as a “Badass Mother Fucker”.

Do you guys still go around telling everyone “I’m from Jersey, you from Jersey? I’m from Jersey!” :smiley:

A New Yorker Brooklynite. I ws born in The Bronx which qualifies me as a Boogiedowner.

I’m now a Utahan.

To answer your earlier question - say “YOO - TAWN.”

I lived in Bellingham, Washington, for several years. The unofficial name of Bellingham residents is “Bellinghamsters.”

I thought that was more of a New York thing where you did not want to be considered a WASP if white so assured the world knew you were either Italian, Irish, Jewish or Puerto Rican.

I was born in da Bronx, but I do not think I qualify as a Boogiedowner.

Never, no really we never did.

[spoiler]It was “Are you from Joisey? I’m from Joisey”

We also talk about what exit(s) we live by and going to the shore.[/spoiler]

I’m a Newfoundlander born (I don’t mind if you call me a Newfie. Or a Newf.)

Actually, I’m a Newfoundlander raised, a Labradiorian born.

Currently an Ontarian.

That’s New Fun Lander, not New Found Lander, dammit.

You may have been born in The Bronx but were you born in The Boogie Down Bronx?

Nah, I was born and lived up on Baychester Ave. Mostly Italian with some Jewish and Black at the time. Nice neighborhood back then. Pre-Boogie days. New York is in my blood, but that means more the Zoo, the Yanks, the Streets and the fast walking, not the soul or the boogie. :wink:

Canadian, Quebecer, Montrealer. Former Winnipegger (Manitoban); born a New Brunswicker.

Yes, I’m an Aucklander. Someone from Christchurch is (drum roll) a Christchurchian. And those from Otago are Otagoans. Hamiltonians share the pain of Wellingtonians. :slight_smile:

Interesting. I never heard that term while I lived in NZ. If anything the one I heard was Cantabrian for all those from the Canterbury province.

Sydney, for some obscure reason, gives rise to the term Sydneysider. And I’ve heard New South Welshman used too, although it hardly rolls off the tongue. I just say “Australian, from Sydney”.

I’m a Georgian. But the interesting thing is, there’s a town in Georgia I’m not from. It’s called Unadilla. You can look it up. Are these folks Unadillies? Or Unadildoes?

Folks from Talking Rock, Georgia, are of course Talking Rockers.

Folks from Enigma, Georgia are Enigmans. (Used to call 'em Enigmers, but … there were problems.)

Folks from Warwoman Dell are of course the Farmers in the Dell.

Folks from Ty Ty, Georgia, are of course, Wich-a-tytos. There’s a song about 'em.

I like mine.

I live in Nunavut.

I am Nunavummiut.
