Wini,

You are right, my friend.  And the term "Cockroaches" is applied to most NSW sporting teams.  They, by contrast, call us Queenslanders Cane Toads!!!

Neither of you have mentioned Teuchtars

Some Canadianisms:

Nova Scotia - Bluenosers
Halifax - Haligonians
British Columbia - British Columbians
Newfoundland - Newfoundlanders, Newfies, Newfs
Prince Edward Island - Islanders
Saskatchewan - Saskatchewanians
Toronto - Torontonians
Manitoulin Island - Haweaters
Smithers - Smithereens (my favourite!)

Quebec - this one has been controversial in English.  Properly, it's Quebecois(e)(s), prounced in the French way.  I think something that sounds like Kay-bec-wah is currently acceptable.  Verboten are Kwee-beckers and Frogs.

Madawaska area of New Brunswick - Brayon

non-native of Maritime provinces of Canada = come-from-away

descendant of original French settlers in Quebec = pure laine

Must be a first

I never knew how that was spelt! 

Chooktars!

Chooktars! 

 

It's actually pronounced with a soft ch in the middle  chew - ch - tar as in the word Loch

You also have it's partner in crime Sassenach - which also has similar roots in the irish welsh and Cornish languages to describe a saxon (or englishman)

[Gadget]

ah - only we Celts and Germans can pronounce the ch in that soft lilting way 

[Pels.]

I can pronounce Sassenach - I can even spell it without double checking! 

The other one still comes out Chooocccktar though when I say it .. but it would! 

I could choke trying to pronounce that! 

[Gadget]

say it as Falkyrn suggests :

Chew

(ch)  - just a wee sound  that's barely audible

tar
