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)
