What are People from Your Region Called?

[Adash 193]

I don't know if this is a topic already, but here it goes anyway.

 

Do people from your area have a "label" so to say because they were from there.

 

For example, I am from Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.  We call ourselves Skooks or Coal-Crackers because of our history of coal mining.

Spiks that's what the white man calls my people. Oh and they call us Fresnans because we're from the greater Fresno area.

[Namename. 275]

All that came to my head from this was the SNL skit on Thanksgiving for The Californians.

[CandyStrike 603]

I don't even know, I would have to look it up.  Which I'm not going to. <--lazy

[zombienixon 330]

From where I live? Rednecks, mostly.

[The Shyest One 808]

"Ohh, you're from Cali." is usually what I hear when I refer to home.

[Moonlight 7,288]

Ohioans?

 

 

That's about it really, I don't think there's an actual name for each county or whatever.

[Mesme Rize 15,687]

Here in Bremen, we are called Bremer.

Fun Fact: There is a type of fish sandwich called Bremer.

[Princess Derpy 672]

Ohioans. There's not a specific name for people from the town I live in, though.

[Jonny Music 3,460]

In my province, we are called Ontarians.

For Toronto (Capital of Ontario, NOT Canada), they are called Torontonians.

[DubWolf 17,518]

Texans I guess . I'm pretty sure most regions have a specific name for their people.

[Justin_Case001 4,908]

Humans.  People from my region of the galaxy are called humans.  (Sometimes Terrans, which makes a lot more sense imo.)

Here specifically we don't really have a name, but in The Hague, which is close enough to where I live you've got 'Hagenezen', which refers to people born and raised there, and 'Hagenaars' which refers to people who live there but aren't originally from The Hague. Some people are quite touchy about the distinction, apparently.

[Invincible 2,092]

Israelites, Israelis, The chosen people. Meh, i don't know. If you want to be more specific, i live in a part of Jaffa, a southern part of the large metropolis, Tel-Aviv. Some people who are not from these parts call us Jaffites.

I've heard the term "Sussaxon" suggested for people from Sussex, but I think mostly if you used it in conversation, you'd just get confused looks in response.

[Handsome Changeling 1,851]

As I am from/was born in Manchester I am called either one of two things, A Mancunian or a Manc, not very nice sounding but hey.
Right now I live in Blackpool and people here are called Poolians or since Blackpool is in Lancashire then I guess Lanky works too.
So pretty much I am a Lanky Poolian Manc heheh.
Reason for the colours is since Blackpools colour is Orange, Manchester is Red and Lancashire is Blue.
 

[ReverseFaller 2,484]

Minnesotan.   

 

No, we don't have fargo accents. 

[Sommar 1,289]

New Hampshirites for the most part or if you go down south, Yankees.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

Arizonians... we put up with hotter temperatures then our Texan brethren. Even though I'm truly Californian I have spent almost my whole life in Arizona so I consider myself to be Arizonian

Californians, of course! Though I recently found out people in Los Angeles are called Angelinos. Huh.

[Magpie 623]

Michiganders, and I think it's hilarious because it makes us sound like we're all male geese.

[long gone 8,929]

Two things, Yankee and Bay Stater. Yankee is the more general term for New Englanders, Bay Stater is the term for people specifically from Massachusetts.

Apparently, South Australians are called Crow Eaters. Yes, I'm serious. We're called that because of our national symbol, which looks like a crow on a yellow dinner plate. However, Western Australians were the first to use that nickname, but over the years they've moved on to something else.

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

Well where im from, we are called, hell bound, heathen sinners, devils advocates, godless moronic fornicators, and many other such gracious names.

 

EDIT: I THOUGHT THE TITLE SAID RELIGION, NOT REGION!!!!

 

We are usually called sooners...... or oklahomans....

Isn't eating crow a bad term? Like (And i know it's wikipedia, but I swear I've heard it other places too.) the wikipedia entry for "Eating crow" says Eating crow is an American colloquial idiommeaning humiliation by admitting wrongness or having been proven wrong after taking a strong position. Crow is presumably foul-tasting in the same way that being proven wrong might be emotionally hard to swallow.
