Tell me you’re Indianan without telling me you’re Indianan.

If you want Hoosier on there then you have to put stuff like Appalachian too.

Edit - on rereading this it looks a bit harsh, it was meant with a wink and a smile.

That’s still a cultural name not the proper English Demonym for Indiana.

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.

…tejanos around here can be of any ethnicity: it’s considered a cultural identity (not unlike hispanic or latino) for folks with deep roots in the original regional melting-pot but it’s not synonymous with the texian or broader post-revolutionary texan population…

Wyomingite? Doesn’t look right to me. Wyominger seems more logical.
