Wasn’t this also a plot point in the show “Taxi” where Jim gets rich somehow and sets up a bunch of TVs tuned to different channels? I remember a scene where the michigan legislature is voting on which name to use and Alex goes ballistic over the results. One of the best Taxi episodes ever.
It was the Delaware State Legislature in that episode. I believe they voted for “Delawarians”.
Yes, I’ve watched a lot of TV.
Our southeasternmost state is populated by a bunch of Floridiots.

In a certain Midwestern college town that recieves a good deal of its student population from the Chicago metro area (since we have weak admissions standads and would take them after they didn’t get into the University of Illinois), Illinois natives are referred to as FIBs, pronounced like “fib”, the synonym for “to lie”. FIB stands for Fuckin’ Illinois Bastard.
I also recall seeing this slogan on the wall of a men’s room toilet in Boulder, Colorado:
Here I sit
Cheeks a-flexin’
Squeezin’ out
Another Texan
Are there a lot of Dallas and/or Houston metro kids at the University of Colorado or just too many Texans clogging up the ski slopes?
Not just the slopes, but the highways leading to them. After a good snow, we count the trucks in the ditch with Texas plates. Don’t feel bad, we hate Californicators much worse than Texans.
“I’d think God would want to LIMIT my powers.”
In my neck of the woods, we call all the people from Florida who drive up here to their vacation homes “Floridiots”–based on their irritating lack of driving skills.
