http://www.wordnik.com/lists/alternative-names-for-new-yorkers.xml I live in upstate New York, half a mile from Lake Ontario. This makes me a "<a href="/words/New Yorker">New Yorker</a>", a term that I find somewhat unfortunate. "New Yorker" is an ugly phrase, hardly worthy of being the <a href="/words/demonym">demonym</a> for twenty million people. <br /> <br />Now, I care little for New York City. If they want to keep calling themselves "New Yorkers", I won't stand in their way. But the rest of us deserve something better, something exciting, something to <a href="/words/foment">foment</a> a little state pride. Michigan has its <a href="/words/Michigander">Michigander</a>s; why can't we have something similar? http://www.wordnik.com http://www.wordnik.com/words/yorkles Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:16:31 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/yorkles http://www.wordnik.com/words/yorcans Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:08:52 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/yorcans http://www.wordnik.com/words/apple eaters Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:06:19 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/apple eaters http://www.wordnik.com/words/imperials Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:05:18 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/imperials http://www.wordnik.com/words/emperials Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:05:12 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/emperials http://www.wordnik.com/words/empirians Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:04:53 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/empirians http://www.wordnik.com/words/iroquoisy Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:04:26 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/iroquoisy http://www.wordnik.com/words/new yorkians Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:03:58 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/new yorkians http://www.wordnik.com/words/nork-norks Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:03:30 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/nork-norks http://www.wordnik.com/words/yorkites Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:03:04 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/yorkites http://www.wordnik.com/words/yorkids Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:02:57 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/yorkids http://www.wordnik.com/words/norkies Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:02:42 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/norkies http://www.wordnik.com/words/yorkies Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:02:36 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/yorkies http://www.wordnik.com/words/norkians Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:02:29 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/norkians http://www.wordnik.com/words/yorkians Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:02:12 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/yorkians http://www.wordnik.com/words/york-yorks Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:02:07 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/york-yorks
