I live in Oregon and I'm curious what other folks call us. I've heard the saying "Call me Rusty", because it rains so much here in Oregon, but I'm wondering what other slang terms, or "slurs" people use to describe Oregonians. You know, like there's the term "redneck" and "hillbilly", etc. It's ok, I got tough skin. LOL.

i was just about to say there aren't any, but then i remembered there is one about the state in general. And it's pretty funny. People say Oregon is to California what Canada is to the US. As in directly north, and fairly similar but much more boring. kinda cute.

Not that we are any different up here in Seattle...but we have come to know them as Mudrats, or granola eaters.
