What do you call people from your town?

Just curious to see what people in different towns are called. (ie: Someone living in Los Angeles is an "Angelino." Someone living in San Diego is a San Diegan). I know that Mexicans living outside of Mexico City derogatively call the people who live in Mexico City "Chilangos." So I don't care if you list slang, proper terms, or derogatives. Just keep it specific to a city/town.

is this a widely used term, or one of your own?

'Norfolk' as in 'Nofuckingood'

Recifense

Wankers, mostly !

Scallies or Goths mostly...

Stockport is full of both.

i think you are missing the point... scallies & goths are everywhere. what is someone from stockport called?

new yorkers, brazilians, puerto ricans, californians, coloradoans, cubans, ohioans...basically anything but central floridians because so few people are actually from here! (myself included)

also: f*cking bad drivers.

i have no idea what people from orlando are called. orlandoers? orlandinos? mousers? disneyheads?

Amazingly enough Budvar Huber knows the answer to this! He also now knows what people from Atherton and Tyldesley are called. Wiganers are known as pie eaters, but to complete my astonishment Huber is now going to tell me what people from Westhougton are called. Apart from Stockport, these are all south Lancashire mining towns.

Féansters

People from the region just around are called Wâldpieken.

is that, in anyway, related to the german word "fenster"? probably not, but i thought i'd ask.

Anything you like, provided they're smaller than you :D

Portlanders.

But Portland itself is known by a lot of different names. Just off the top of my head: PDX (after the airport code- PDX- this is what most Portlanders call it when they're writing); The Rose City (Civic boosters like this one); River City (Portland is situated at the confluence of the Willamette River and the Columbia River); Bridgetown (Portland is divided by the Willamette River, and thus has a lot of bridges); Stumptown (logging used to be a big industry in Oregon).

Oh, I think another good nickname for Portland would be Strippertown, since there seems to be a lot more of those establishments per capita than for most cities across the country.

Eugeneans would be the name of the residents of the city where I spend a lotta time.

Yep. Never been to one (here), but it seems to be pretty big.

Gayuchos. But I don't call them. Nobody here call them. They just come.

chicago residents= chicagoans. and you are not a true chicagoan if you moved here from the suburbs or think a real chicago neighborhood is wrigleyville or lincoln park (thats my opinion) cause most of the people there, moved there from outside of chicago. if you live on the northside of chicago: you are called a cubs fan and if you are from the southside of chicago, your called a sox fan. i be from the northside :)
