Makes me extra happy to be a Birds fan. Yikes. 💚🦅💚

I’ve lived in Maryland for 45 years and never heard its nickname till now. Yikes 😬

I wanted to share this, and since your post is about football, I chose you.

GO BIRDS!

South Carolina weasels and Missouri pukes are spot-on.

New Hampshire hangs dong.

who knew that the origin of Mar-a-Lago was Fly up the creek?

davidnelsonnm.bsky.social•14 days ago

As someone living in NM, I’d kinda like to know what our nickname was. Then again, maybe not. (This isn’t a comment on you blanking it, I get it.)

Funny how e.g. Michigan, Indiana and Ohio embraced their nicknames while Texas and Kentucky didn't 😅

respectwomen25.bsky.social•15 days ago

Hoosier is a ridiculous tag. I cringe. It goes in and out of fashion here, the locals embrace if for a few years and drop it for a few more. Describes the Indiana state of mind pretty perfectly.

bjornar1.bsky.social•15 days ago

TIL Hoosier is the official demonym for Indiana. I'll have to say, not one I would embrace were I a resident... And it gets better, Wikipedia says nobody agrees on the origin of the term...

respectwomen25.bsky.social•15 days ago

The people here can't agree on the origin either. My only question is "how did it stick?".

bjornar1.bsky.social•15 days ago

Maybe it didn't sound quite so bad to 19th century ears?

Utah’s nickname is Utah

mattr644.bsky.social•15 days ago

That was my favorite

mattdiersen.bsky.social•15 days ago

Is that a plural pig marriage?

rumpolebayou.bsky.social•15 days ago

I believe it is. Great catch!

mattr644.bsky.social•15 days ago

😂 Man this thing has layers

radlein.bsky.social•15 days ago

I guess they couldn't come up with anything more insulting than that

kccab.bsky.social•15 days ago

Wyoming (territory) didn’t even rate a nickname….

radlein.bsky.social•15 days ago

Interesting to see which nicknames (Knicks, Tarheels, Badgers, Gophers, etc) have survived, mostly as sports mascots

paprikapink.bsky.social•15 days ago

Arizonia is a cute nickname

mattwisnefske.bsky.social•15 days ago

Jackie Daytona agrees.

deliawilson.bsky.social•14 days ago

That’s weird. Why would anyone call Maine foxes? Nothing like peek back over 100 yrs ago. Thanks!!

Even on this map, New Mexico is mostly empty.

onbehalfofhefool.bsky.social•15 days ago

Except anyone from the res of Pa. Could tell you that Philadelphia is really part of New Jersey — “Olan Cataber?”

mattdiersen.bsky.social•15 days ago

“Clam Catcher,” it seems.

A note on your Girl Scout cookies map, there’s probably been more changes in that map than the corresponding period before that map. Post-covid, LBB dumped a bunch of councils in order to get their supply chain and manufacturing running smoothly again.
