There used to be nicknames used by Uptown New Orleans folks to make fun of people from Da Parish (St. Bernard) and also the working class people from Metry (Metairie).
They called the girls, “charmers” (pronounced exaggeratedly, “CHAHRM-ahs), and the boys, “greasers” (pronounced “GREESE-ahs”).
If you run across a woman of a certain age with the “Yat” accent, call her a charmer and see her reaction! Just get ready to be slapped or cussed out.

In South Dakota they call the Dutch farmers Hollanders; they are perceived to run crappy dairy farms. I thought it was the last name of the people and just a common name. Come to find out it’s like the N word to call them that.

Yeah, I know. I'm a mod there. We wear it as a badge of pride, but in general, it is used as a pejorative by outsiders (mostly Oklahoma State fans).

Okie
Never heard this as bad inside the state, Okie from Muskogee s a great song. Very political though.
It was a derogatory name given to Oklahomans who migrated to California during the Dust Bowl years.
I'm from Tulsa, which is about 50 miles north of Muskogee. I know all about it.

Family in BA, I am here now because my sister has stage 4 cancer and is as MD Anderson right now, I will not be far from her during this time. I am usually living on the road. Turkey Mountain is a decent day hike, but Robber's Cave has a lot of good trails, but not well marked and the cave is a disappointment.

I have one nephew that is an OU grad and one that is an OSU grad. A few years ago I took them to Neyland and they LOVED it.

Sorry to hear about your sister. I spent 5 days last week at St. Anthony's in OKC because my falther-in-law (who is 89) had back surgery and his recovery has been rough.
I live 10-mles west of Guthrie now. Really flat in that area. I would love to be closer to hiking trails. I just told my wife - next spring we are going to the panhandle and we will hike to the top of the Black Mesa. She said OK.
Right now, we are in a hotel in McAlester about to leave for a day trip - Talemina Drive. Hoping to catch some good views of the trees changing color, but they say it probably won't peak until late next week.

Wow, that’s something I never would have guessed.
First of all, that Dutch farmers are perceived to run crappy dairy farms? Who knew?
Secondly, that a “Hollander” would be seen as an insult? That really surprises me.
I would have guessed that placing “Dutch” or “Holland” in any product name or advertising would make it seem wholesome, traditional, and high-quality to the vast majority of Americans.

Thank you and prayers for your FIL!
I spent two months last year on a hiking camping trip out west and the scenery and hiking/camping are amazing. The mountains will really make you feel small.

Cheechako used to be a common word here for newcomer. Havent heard it in a few years, since Covid. I think it may have died out.
quote:
Cheechako is a distinctly Alaskan word that refers to a person who has newly arrived in Alaska or the Yukon Territory of Canada. Historically, it referred to someone who had just arrived at a mining district in these regions during the Gold Rush. It was originally printed in the Chicago Record newspaper in 1897 and is a jargon word from the Chinook language of the Pacific Northwest.
Today, Cheechako means something very similar. It refers to people who have just moved to Alaska and aren’t yet considered “Sourdough.”

Back in 1988 at LSU a buddy from Houston called the Mexicans beaners, I had never heard that name. Growing up in LA I always heard wetback but rarely hear that now but hear beaner often.
People in LA often refer to Democrats for a certain group of folks.
