Where does the term Tar Heel come from
I physically can't read the OK nameš š“
Zoom in old man
Iād zoom in for you if I even knew where Oklahoma is
Maybe if OK was important
š¤·š¼āāļø
Pennite
Or as @Wood-Ape - OK/MN said last night; Super Pennsylsaiyan
I like this map because of the illustrations
And also because the names are antiquated and nobody uses them anymore except for a few
Gold Hunter. That is the reason we migrated here from Vermont.
@Sherman Hardcastle - CA Thatās actually based as heck
Real life gold panning ancestors
I was obsessed with the California gold rush as a kid
The adventure, the gold, the danger
Are you sure that chart doesn't depict nicknames of *pigs* in those states?
Yes
Lol
Puke, whelp, bug eater. Hard to imagine being chill with those nicknames lol
āThe five sobriquets by which Kentucky is designated are: the *Blue Grass State*, the *Corn-cracker State*, the *Dark and Bloody Ground State*, the *Hemp State*, and *the Tobacco State*.ā
Ha, thanks my family helped settle the city of Stockton. They are listed as pioneers in the city records. They traveled by boat to Nicaragua and traveled across the country by foot where a boat arrived to take them to SF. Three brothers. Sometimes I wish we stayed in VT....
The Tobacco state is my personal preference
My family has farmed tobacco for over 100 years
I wondered why every picture was a pig
Thatās awesome.
Every picture is a pig because the company sells pig supplies I believe
*sold
Hereās the background info
@DixieBoy76 - KY I also have family from your state. Beautiful place. They were Catholic pioneer settlers of Lebanon, Kentucky. Are you familiar with Wathen Bourbon?
@Papa Pizzagate AHAHA I learned about that meme years ago and totally forgot about it
@ophiuchus For some background information, some Wikipedia articles have audio versions, and for a while that was the audio version for that article and it was allowed to stay because it *technically* didn't violate any of the Wikipedia rules
Iām currently mired deep in a list of Wikipedia hoaxes
Some of these are so odd
Not even jokes really, just stuff like āI made of a fictional Kosovar political party and it stayed up for 4 yearsā
Fictitious Amelia Bedelia origin story
āClaim that women in Uganda refer to the Protopterus as a āsister fishā and for this reason abstained from eating themā stayed up for eight years
Amelia Bedelia is very implicit
When are we gonna tackle the fluoride question?
Right now
