United States of America

Abbreviation of Wisconsin, a state of the United States of America.


Wisconsin

Borrowed from French Ouisconsin, itself borrowed from an uncertain Native American language. Theories include:
* Miami meeskohsinki or Algonquin meskousing, both meaning "it lies red", the name given to the Wisconsin River by one of the Algonquian-speaking American Indian groups living in the region at the time of European contact. "Meskousing" is known from maps drawn by the French from the 1670s onwards, it is believed subsequent transcribers mistook the stylized cursive "M" for "OU".
* Menominee wēskōhsek (“a good place”), from Wēskōhsek Sēpēw ("the river where it is good to live")
* An Ojibwe term, suggestions include miskwasiniig (“red stones”), referring to the red sandstone of the dells of the Wisconsin River; and wiishihkaanhs (“little lodge”), referring to the dwellings of the abundant beavers and muskrats.
A researcher for the State of Wisconsin Historical Society concluded in frustration, "I have not found two Indians to agree on the meaning of this word."

A state in the Upper Midwest region of the United States.

Wisconsinite

My brother is a Wisconsinite; I'm Floridian.

For the two Wisconsinites, it was the type of victory that might be appreciated in these parts, an intense struggle that was defined by inelegant offense and whose most memorable moment came when players on both teams flopped to the floor after a loose ball like Packers linebackers diving on a fumble.

2022 March 20, Billy Witz, “Badgers’ Home-State Plans Become Celebration for Opposing Wisconsinites”, in The New York Times:

“We look forward to offering every Wisconsinite the opportunity to vote for people, planet and peace over profit,” Dave Schwab, the secretary of the Wisconsin Green Party, said in a statement.

A native or resident of the state of Wisconsin in the United States of America.

der

During the Toronto Raptors' championship run, a fan-made sign referred to the opposing Milwaukee Bucks as the "Milwaukee Bucktees," bucktee being an insult deriving from a similar word in Somali.

2019 October 13, “Toronto slang on the rise thanks to city's growing pop culture relevance”, in CBC News, archived from the original on 2022-07-06:

There was no location, really — most of the convention took place in a Milwaukee of the mind. […] Instead, the teleconvention kept a few standards (like the Bruce Springsteen–soundtracked montage) and borrowed from a grab bag of other TV formats, from talk show to cable news to reality-TV reunion special.

Sheboyganite

As for Berg, she embraced her Sheboyganite status to the fullest. Her classmates quickly started introducing her as “Bethany, from Sheboygan.”

2017 March 10, Leah Ulatowski, “Funny girl: Sheboygan filmmaker graduates with first class of the Harold Ramis Film School”, in Sheboygan Press:

So it seems, to many Sheboyganites, attraction begins and ends with genuineness and easy conversation. Coffee shops are a go.

2018 October 4, Marina Affo, “What do Sheboyganites want in a first date? | Low Key Lovesick”, in Sheboygan Press:

A native or resident of the city of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, United States.
