Michigander or Michiganian?

Michigander or Michiganian?

Michiganders, or Michiganians (depending on which side you?re on), have long found themselves in a state of disconnect. It seems that the great divide facing residents of the Great Lake State these days centers around the demonym ? the name of a resident of a specific locality ? that best suits the people of Michigan. Whether you proclaim yourself a Michigander or a Michiganian may say a lot about who you are and where you come from. Is one better than the other? Can the two co-exist?

A recent poll conducted on six-hundred Michigan residents shows that fifty-eight percent of those surveyed prefer to call themselves Michiganders while only twelve percent favor Michiganian as their choice demonym. The remaining thirty percent were fine with both, did not like either of the two, or simply did not care.

How about "assholes" instead?

After the past decade, how would they feel if we just called them eunuchs?

"Irrelevant" has a nice ring to it.

Michigander or Michiganian? I just call them fucksticks.

Michiganian please, Michigander was actually an insult originally, when referring to some who lives in Michigan anyway. For someone who goes to U of M, a$$hole or irrelevant work just fine.

Sounds like there's no disconnect at all, sparky. It's Michiganders for those who insist on a dumb word, though that term is almost never used outside of the media.

Fuck the both of 'em.

Actually, I can't disagree with LJB.
