Mr Red	Folklore: Hoosier- other names for locals of....? (10)	Folklore: Hoosier- other names for locals of....?	16 Sep 21
Came across the word hoosier on a COVID video. viz "native of Indiana" can anyone come up with any more obscure names for state natives? The UK has a few - Yamyam is a native of the Black Country - (near Birmingham but 1 million miles distant - culturally - from Brummies) plus Makem similarly near but culturally distinct from the more familiar Geordie. Newcastle built ships, but Sunderland "made" them (fitted them oot). There are plenty of obvious ones like Bristolian, Lancastrian, even Mancunian. I am looking for names that are not immediately obvious from the name of the locale..............
