I am a resident of the state of North Carolina. We are sometimes known as Tarheels. This nickname for the citizens of Old North originates with the derisive “tar boiler” referring to the poor whites who rendered pine pitch into tar and turpentine for His Britannic Inbredfulnesses Redcoat Boat Club. During both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, Carolinians gained a reputation for stubborn tenacity. Carolinian patriots frustrated General Cornwallis by flooding the Tar river with pitch. North Carolina was the nest-to-last to secede from the union, earning a reputation as “the reluctant state.” A Texan regiment teased a Carolina regiment by shouting “Tarheels!” The reply was “If you had some tar on your heels, maybe you’d have brought back your flag from Sharpsburg!” The term has become a badge of pride, a mark of tenacity, quite literal sticktoitiveness.
Residents of Ohio are called Buckeyes, after a local species of useless, toxic nut.
So, Florida decides that they are going to be a liberal state, part of that is that they want open access to anything the state government does. This is for all things, transcripts, photos, letters, maps even, whatever. But the Police department is part of the state government, well screw it include them too and all evidence thats used. Its public. This sets up a funny president, its easy to get all the details about an incident in Florida so journalists looking for stories to write about start writing more and more of them about the state and the people in it. But they all do this thing where they simplify the headline… “Florida man does ____”, see proof below.
I guess my moral of my story, is just cause you see something somewhere else doesnt mean it isn’t happening at home… You are just hearing about the thing happening somewhere else.

Meanwhile, people from Indiana are called Hoosiers and nobody has the vaguest idea why.
Hoozer means large… Maybe they were calling themselves fat?
