When I was studying in Buenos Aires, residents of the city were referred to as “portenos” (with the tilde over the n). I believe this is because it’s a port city.
Pittsburgh - Pittsburgher.
Can I get fries with that? 
The Cat In The Hat
No fries, just Allegheny you can eat.
I guess that ‘r’ I put in puertorriqueño should’ve been an ‘rr’, but of course, in Spanish, such “genitive”/adjectival forms aren’t very unusual.
I should’ve included among those:
Nueva York. . . . . . .neoyorquino/as
Then there’s:
Philippine Islands. . .f/pilipino/as
How 'bout:
San Fernando Valley… .Valley Girl
Gila Bend… . . . . . .gila monster

Would that we had some muck to rake! Hottest gossip around here this year (read: century) is the rumor the judge got caught w/a paw in the till.

Back to England:
Folks from Manchester are Mancunians.
Folks from Newcastle are Geordies.
As for the term “Michigander,” it was popularized (though perhaps not invented) by Abraham Lincoln, who jokingly urged some of Michigan’s Congressmen to “stop their Michigandering” and get down to serious business.
Is there such a thing as a Valley Boy?

I’m not flying fast, just orbiting low.
…and what’s the term for someone from Maine?
Here you go, dougie:
Torrance - Toreadors
San Pedro - Pedristas
Palos Verdes - PVers
Long Beach - I’m going to pass on this one since I work there and it’s way to easy to match up the town’s nickname (Queen City) with the fact that it has the largest gay population in So. Cal.
Lynwood - Woodies
Santa Monica - Santa Monicans
Culver City - Culverts
Inglewood - Lakers
I Forgot to explain the last one. NBA players are the only people who would admit to being from Inglewood!
Thanks.
Texans at various times have been Texicans,Texians,even Texanians course now we know we’re just perfect.My home is in Mesquite I don’t think I have heard any thing but ,residents of Mesquite.( Mesquiteite, well loosen the binding)
John Wayne was in many of Republic’s B western ‘Three Mesquiteers’. One of the high schools is the Skeeters. Chef you know the reason is because most of you Dallasites are a sight to see anyway. Plano is an unremarkable suburb just north of Dallas, they are just Plano folks.Dougie, papa is wrong (!) on at least one… San Pedro-Pederists, and Palos Verdes could be Woodies too,es verdad. Lima ,Ohio- Lima beings

“If you drive an automobile, please drive carefully–because I walk in my sleep.”–Victor Borge
According to Paul Dickson’s “Labels for Locals” a resident of Maine is called either a “Mainer” or a “State of Mainer”.
He says that “Maineiac” is used for summertime visitors only.
Hey BobT, does that book have a name for inhabitants of “Truth and Consequences (NM)” ?
I’m afraid it doesn’t. The Herald, the newspaper of Truth or Consequences always refers to the city as “TorC”. I would imagine that a genitive name would be some form of that, perhaps a “TorCian”.
