Hawaii is correct on their list but not on their map
Hawaii – Hawaii resident
bc Hawaiian is reserved for natives
Weirdest one is people from Indiana are called ‘Hoosiers’
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoosier
Most awkward one is Connecticuter … it sounds more like a profession than in describing where someone comes from.
Having grown up there, I always liked Connecticutian as a serious one, but also accepted is Nutmegger (it’s the nutmeg state) and best jokey name is Connecticunt (pairs well with our neighboring Massholes)
Yeah but. I lived in Indiana for a long time and most people just say Indianan. Hoosier is more of a Midwest thing. I’m from Arkansas, and that and Florida is a little odd. It’s pronounced differently than the state is.
Most people from where? Everyone in Indiana says Hoosier. Maybe it is a Midwest thing, but I don’t know how I’d react if someone called me an Indianan. It doesn’t even sound correct (admittedly, at least 20% of these sound really awkward).
A question I wondered about is … how do you pronounce it?
- ‘Who-see-er’
- ‘Who-shur’
or some other way I don’t know about?
btw, nice to meet a Hoosier
Who shur is closer. Though some pronounce it more with a z sound instead of an s.
Massachusettsan? Nope, it’s Masshole, c’mon my guy we all know this
Yeah, no one has ever used the term “Massachusettsan”, fucking ever.
Also, everyone I’ve ever known from Connecticut consistently responds to “dipshit”, so the map is a bit flawed…
Connecticunt is also used by Massholes, which is both valid and why they’re on thin ice when being considered part of New England lol
Hoosi is the best state
This is wrong… People from Texas are Texicans.
Had a convo about this with a pair of (very white) people from Texas. They unironically called themselves Tejanos.
Not sure how widespread that preference is among Texas people.
