Delaware Lame (12/28/10)

Delaware is the only state without a national park.

I wasn’t del-aware of that.

I don’t know what’s worse.  That pun.  Or the post’s useless title.

A man from Utah is a Utahn.   His wives would be Utahns.

People from Indiana are Indianians.

Another word that’s way too hard to say for the subject matter at hand.

Demonym 4 (10/24/10)

People from Boston are Bostonians.   That’s not too hard to say. 

But try talking about people from Massachusetts, using the US Government Printing Office’s recommended demonym:  Massachusettsans.

It hurts to say.

People from Connecticut are Connecticuters.

Sounds like a tool used to fuse electrical wires together.

The US Government Printing Office reccomends calling people from Idaho, Idahoans.

Not that you’ll ever need to talk about an Idahoan.

Five-O (9/4/10)

Cops are sometimes referred to as Five-O because of the TV show Hawaii Five-O.  “Five-O” refers to Hawaii being the 50th state.

It also sounds a lot better than “Oklahoma Four-Six.”
