Weirdest one is people from Indiana are called 'Hoosiers'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoosier
Most awkward one is Connecticuter .... it sounds more like a profession than in describing where someone comes from.
Having grown up there, I always liked Connecticutian as a serious one, but also accepted is Nutmegger (it's the nutmeg state) and best jokey name is Connecticunt (pairs well with our neighboring Massholes)
Oh that's SO much easier to say!!
