Subject: TARGET: state resident's nicknames stumper


I have been doing a unit on Kansas history, etc. with my elementary
students, and every year they ask the same thing.  We Kansans call
ourselves Jayhawkers, but what do other state residents call themselves?
I know Ohioans are 'Buckeyes', Indianans are 'Hoosiers', we call
Oklahomans 'Sooners', but are there names like this for every state?

Also I thought at one time I remember there is a literary term for this.
Anyone remember what it is?
