The problem is the state name is so darn long that you can't add anything to it. Baystaters, I guess, maybe. But I don't like that.<br /><br />I live in CA now and to everyone out here Massachusetts = Boston. So I just say I'm from Boston, because it's easier than explaining.Aimeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-68279818927707842982011-05-03T09:11:29.329-04:002011-05-03T09:11:29.329-04:00I grew up in NW Indiana and like the Hoosier name....I grew up in NW Indiana and like the Hoosier name. (I'm also a graduate of IU, so I double-like 'Hoosier'). <br />For Illinois, I usually refer to them as FIPs (Flippin' Illinois Person) or FIDs (flippin' Illinois Driver), unless I'm talking with and Illinoisian friend when I call them 'Illinoisian'.Sophietjenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-80090015871383180902011-05-03T01:03:57.658-04:002011-05-03T01:03:57.658-04:00Well, I looked it up and apparently in addition to...Well, I looked it up and apparently in addition to being a person from CT, a "nutmegger" is also someone who "partakes in the recreational use of nutmeg to get high." <br /><br />Not nearly as entertaining as I expected.

Can't stand the Hoosier name myself.

That is definitely the term locals use, however. I guess I still think of myself as a Michigander. My parents are from Massachusetts, but I can't think what residents of that state are called...
