Glaswegians from Glasgow, Mancunians from Manchester...
« on: Friday 09 November 07 13:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi Everyone,
Inspired by a recent post congratulating Trisha on her 6000th post, somebody on there came up with a word associating an inhabitant/native of a place with that place that I'd never come across before.
Well-known oddities of spelling such as Liverpudlians from Liverpool, Mancunians from Manchester, Glaswegians from Glasgow immediately spring to mind.
What are some other examples of unusual words to describe people inhabiting or originating from a particular place anywhere in the world?

Liverpudlians ... ooops, that'll teach me to read the question properly ...

(I take it  that we should omit anything that may be offensive)

but I'm going to risk this one -:
