      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).

          I’m an Indianan because I don’t want to be associated with the 5th year high school in the Southern half of our start.

        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
