True. 
In Florida, those of us who stay year round are simply “Floridians”. The ones that flock down here for the mild winters are “Snow Birds” both for the timing and the amount of white hair. A large percentage seem to come from Canada. Can’t you guys figure out how to stay warm up there?

Some from Down Under:
South Australia - Crow Eaters
West Australia - Sandgropers
Queensland - Banana Benders
Victoria - Mexicans (south of the border from Sydney and New South Wales)
Tasmania - no specific name but they are the butt of lots of jokes about inbreeding
“What are the people in your state called?”
Goddamned idiots, but usually only when I’m driving.
The rest of the time, I and my brethren are ‘Marylanders’. Pronounced ‘Muralinders.’
Maybe but a fine line. Cheeseheads started as a derogatory term used by the residents of Illinois to describe Wisconsinites. Kind of a retaliation for the “FIB” thing. The only problem is we grabbed the Cheesehead thing and ran with it. For God’s sake someone got rich off selling yellow wedges of foam. Anyway they really can’t market “FIB” so we win!!
We could also be Badgers following the examples used above of Buckeye an Vols.
Montello…eh… You should participate in Gazoo’s research about Beer and Headaches.
As a life-long resident of New York City, I refer to myself as a Noo Yawka. We refer to residents of the rest of the state as “hicks”–they even have a town named after them.

I say:
Bear in mind that I live in Asheville, up in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Most residents of Asheville are not from North Carolina for some reason, so I don’t deal with too many natives. The natives remind me a little too much of the movie Deliverance. In fact, the Chatooga (the river on which Deliverance was filmed) is within an hour’s drive from here.
So, when I refer to North Carolina natives as, “cousin bangin’ rednecks.” It is mostly due to the Deliverance flashbacks that they inspire. However, the way they look at their cousins isn’t really helping their case.
And I always thought people from Maine were cousins!
People from Illinois are called Illini.
I’m not sure what people from Washington are called, (and please, those of you who feel negatively about us, don’t enlighten me) but I suppose Washintonians is as close as I can come.
But I CAN tell you that people who were born and still live in my little town of Bellingham are called Bellinghamsters.
Kinda’ cute, huh?
We’re “Buckeyes.”
Yes, that’s true, but… :eek:
Really? Since when? And where? (Actually, if I’m being completely honest, I didn’t know where you lived before the “now”, but still…)
Of course, for a non-trivial percentage of people living in Montana, we call them “Californians”.
(Although they’re moving out fairly fast as they discover they can’t make California money living here…)
Oops.
I didn’t notice how old this thread originally was when I posted to it. Wally’s post was a bit of a dead giveaway, though… :rolleyes:
Anyway, if you happen to read this, Chronos, where in Montana do you live? Or do you anymore? Sheesh, this is embarassing…:o
We are Ar-KAN-zuns.
No No. Georgia - Bubbas.
Alberta - Albertan is the correct term, but it would appear that to the outsider provinces we are “them rich sonofabitch rednecks” or “Ralph-lovers” (Ralph Klein is the name of our premier).
I moved here from the Northwest Territories. Generally people there are referred to as “Northerners” or “From the NWT” or “really stupid for sticking around for -40 weather”.
I was born a Texan.
I was raised an Arkansan.
I am currently an Oklahoman.
I refuse to use the term “Sooner” and some people are still insulted by the term “Okie” and have never forgiven Steinbeck for using it Grapes of Wrath because it is used insultingly. They banned the friggin book here for years. The only place you could find it was college libraries. Talk about touchy.

As a Saskatchewanian (Suh-skatch-uh-wan-ian, not suh-skatch-uh-wane-ian), I thought I’d give you a couple more for the list:
A resident of Saskatoon is a ‘Saskatonian’ (don’t know why the ‘o’ gets dropped). Someone from Regina is a ‘Reginan’, or if you’re Saskatonian, a ‘jerk’. For some reason, a student at the University of Saskatchewan is a ‘Huskie’ (sic). As a nominal Huskie, it always sets my teeth on edge to finish that word without the ‘y’ that God intended.
A resident of Moose Jaw (yes, we have a city called Moose Jaw) is, wait for it:
A ‘Moosichappishanisippian’. (Really.)
Saskatchewan, of course, comes from the Cree phrase meaning ‘The land where no man may leap to his death’.
People outside Saskatchewan are called ‘rich’. Rich Saskatchewanians are called ‘Calgarians’.
We won’t get into what the residents of Climax are called. . . .
that’s what I was taught in school, too!
there are Texans, and, well, who cares?!
