I live in Michigan. I’d call it the “Fuck you, California, we have a ton of water State.”
Welcome to Massachusetts - the most progressive state in the U.S. Now get your ass out unless you are a student that intends to leave in a few years, a really rich person or a professional athlete (any ethnicity is semi-acceptable for the latter category but Irish and/or Italian is always a crowd pleaser). If you want to be in the land of lily white academics that wring their hands over the theoretical troubles of minorities and poor from some of the most expensive and segregated neighborhoods in the country, this is absolutely the place for you.
Joke-lahoma, home of Oral Roberts and cock fighting. And yes, those two things do go together.
Oklahoma, it’s fracking awesome!
Oklahoma, even Garth and Reba left, man. Toby is still here, tho…
Kansas - All we are is dust in the wind.
Flori-duh.
Ohio: The Robocalls State.
In the UK, the two counties I’ve lived in are:
Durham - Land of the Prince Bishops
Kent - The Garden of England
Those are informal I think as I can’t find any “official” nickname for counties.
I’m from the Puke State, also sometimes mockingly called Misery. I don’t think I need to gild that lily of disdain.
Yeah, but it’s all frozen half the year.
Pennsylvania - more hills than Ohio and less assholes than New Jersey
I’ll represent Georgia - “No, that’s Alabama you’re thinking of” State.
Texas - No that’s WEST Texas you’re thinking of. It’s not ALL desert, tumbleweeds, and ranchers.
Denver, Colorado - Used to be the Mile High City. Now… it’s just high.
Houston, TX - Is that a drone or a mosquito?
Louisiana - Gators are good eatin
Nevada - the Anti-Fed Nutjob State
Good work, Cliven Bundy!
New Mexico - Nothing new here.
New Mexico - Here, even the dust is dirty.
New Mexico - Land of Entrapment (speed traps).
Indiana - Because somebody has to live here
Colorado - Our high is elevated
Michigan- Making Ohioans Jealous For 138 Years
Indiana- Drive Through (For A Toll)
South Dakota- Only One Thing Worth Seeing
Kansas- Going Out Of Business
New Jersey - the “which exit?” state
Kentucky - the horses and hillbillies state
West Virginia - no horses, just hillbillies
Colorado - giving new meaning to “Rocky Mountain High”
New York: A big improvement over Dick York.
I think of it in terms of license plate slogans.
My current state’s slogan would be “Four Dead In Ohio”.
South Dakota has two diverting possibilities: “Flat Land And Cheap Labor” and also “Conform Or Die”.*
For New Jersey: “Jersey Driver”.
And of course for West Virginia: “I’m My Own Grandpa”.
*another poster who claimed there was only one thing to see in the state is dead wrong. There are three worthwhile attractions: the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore and the pies at Al’s Oasis.
Illinois - one Chicago away from being Indi-fucking-ana
