Default Nicknames for out of staters

I think just about ever state has nicknames for people in the neighboring states and they normally crack me up, so what are yours

Wisconsinites call guys from Illinois fibs (f-ing illinois bastards)

I've also heard Minn guys called mud ducks, but have no idea what the heck that is

Yoopers call lower michigan people trolls (they live "under" the bridge)

A lot of Southern Ohio folks call West Virginians father, brother, uncle, etc., mostly at the same time!

Anyone north of the Red River, we call Yankees, with the exception of those Arkansas folks that we call Hillbillies!
Our brethern to the east we call Cajuns or Coon A$$es, of which I am proud to be one of 'em! A Texas born, Coon A$$[8D]

I just call them out-of-staters. Pretty simple huh? (but normaly with a few adjectives thrown in there somewhere.)

Utahns call everyone esle "the other religion." (at least I have found that to be true.) Kinda hard to get the inside scoop though.

We refer to Californians as "Californians". But you have to say it with a level of disgust in your voice that I'm not sure I can explain here.***[>:]
