By 1510 Antwerp was able to boast of three official chambers, The Gillyflower (De Violieren), The Marigold (De Goudbloem), and The Olive Branch (De Olijftak).

Madrasi

Madrasis (plural)

When the hardships of a Madrassi are complained of, we are told that a Panjabi is well off: that the taxation “on an average” is only so-and-so, Northern India being more lightly taxed than Southern.

2010 May 20, “Post-independence literature”, in Stabroek News:

Coming from a South Indian Tamil family that had settled in the western India, “Madrasi” was my family’s nickname in the neighbourhood and so was mine at school. The name in itself was obnoxious, not to mention the stereotyping it brought along with it. For North Indians, anyone from the South was a Madrasi, irrespective of where they came from.

2012 July 26, Xavier Bennet, “Discrimination is everywhere”, in The Times of India:

Hindi cinema has been guilty of stereotyping the “Madrasi” since the days of Mehmood. […] The “Madrasi” usage probably stems from the days of the British Raj when the Madras Province covered Tamil Nadu, parts of Kerala (excluding Travancore) and Andhra Pradesh and even Karnataka (excluding Mysore) and thus anyone from the South was automatically presumed to be from the Madras Presidency…a Madrasi.

2014 May 21, Sudhish Kamath, “The Mythical Madrasi”, in The Hindu:

1932, Malcolm Decker, Benedict Arnold, Son of the Havens, pages 147–148, 251, 266, and 290:

It was said, the Connecticutensians “loved the house of prayer, loved to leave it too.”

1946, Kurt F. Leidecker, “The Religious Background”, in Yankee Teacher: The Life of William Torrey Harris, New York, N.Y.: The Philosophical Library, part I, “New England Period”, chapter III, “Early Environment”, pages 26–27:

Mr. Chute had now begun to “get the hang,” as they say in Connecticut, of Connecticutensian English, and even in his diluted rendering it has a pungency, a force, and a strange new sort of humour, which I wish we might import from our American colonies.

[1951, Odell Shepard, Willard Shepard, “Tuesday”, in Jenkins’ Ear: A Narrative Attributed to Horace Walpole, Esq., New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company, page 202:

This charter, which was to be the palladium of Connecticutensians, openly granted to Winthrop’s colony all of Long Island and Westchester.[…]Most Connecticutensians were Whigs and dissenters and, properly aroused, were never squeamish about tormenting an Episcopalian Tory.[…][Parson] Peters was to live on and one day would describe Connecticutensians as “part man and part beast and wholly of the devil.” Peters had been only an outstanding character to be chased; but, as for a Sandemanian, a Connecticutensian really felt deep down that he could boil him in oil, but actually settled for feathers and a tar bucket.

1964, Malcolm Decker, Brink of Revolution: New York in Crisis, 1765–1776, New York, N.Y.: Argosy Antiquarian Ltd., →LCCN, pages 4 (In the Beginning) and 208 (Coercion):

Peter Pond, the whimsical Connecticutensian, whose forebears “ware all waryers ither by sea or land,” was the first, as far is known, to record that Indians along the Athabasca were using a “sticky substance oozing from the river banks to waterproof their canoes.”

“It must give pleasure to every Connecticutensian” that “no post of honour or profit” can “exist, but what is of his own conferring” and that “no court favour, elevation of birth or fortune,” nor “indeed anything but merit, can be the ground for preferment.”

New Englandress

en-noun

New Englandress (plural New Englandresses)

Of course, with romance for a motif, he hurries them away from the republic to take refuge under the shadows and among the traces of a foreign presence on the continent—not missing, however, a shot at folly as it flies by train or steamer, nor a double stroke of satire both for the great city and the wide West, and for the misliking glance his bright little New Englandress gives them, nor an epigram or two—we hope they may draw blood—on the clerks and ticket-takers we bow down to.

1872 March, “Current Literature”, in The Galaxy, volume XIV, number 3, section ““Their Wedding Journey.” By W. D. Howells. Boston: James R. Osgood & Co. 1872.”, pages 426–427, columns 2–1:

But we got acquainted, and are friends, and I am glad of it and shall be proud of my lyrical clanswoman and New Englandress.

She [Kathleen Pierson] is now a successful romance novelist using Sioux themes and settings, and seems to be attempting to lead the way toward harmony and assimilation between the races, with interracial love her major theme. This is not a new idea for modern white New Englandresses.

But Wallonian legislators are blocking the changes, fearing that their power is eroding, that the Flemish are doing some legal ethnic cleansing and that a divided Belgium will end the subsidies that flow south from richer Flanders.

2008 May 14, Steven Erlanger, “Seams of Belgium’s Quilt Threaten to Burst”, in The New York Times:

The Wépion and Namur farms produce about 400 tons of berries a year, the Wallonian region about 4,000 tons. Both are dwarfed by the 40,000 tons grown each year in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking northern half of Belgium.

There is the Paris sadness, which is that of satiety and reaction, and the Viennese, which is that of Strauss. / There is the Bostonian, which is commercial literary; and the New Yorkian, which is blague commercial—yet no bad spirit withal—and the Philadelphian, which is peculiar in being without a peculiarity, which moveth silently, divineth unutterable things within itself, and behaveth decently,—a very commeil faut sort of sadness! / These are the varieties of sadness, pertaining to each city.

1853 March 5, Charles G[odfrey] Leland, “The Sadness of Rome---and Other Cities”, in The Pen and Pencil. A Weekly Journal of Literature, Science, Art and News., volume I, number X, Cincinnati, Oh., pages 303–304, columns 2–1:

The editor of perhaps the most widely read magazine issuing from the metropolis was recently asked, “Is your magazine read much in New York city itself?” / “Oh, yes,” he answered, “but we are more popular in the United States.” The answer was indicative. New York is not American. It is merely New Yorkian. And the New Yorker is beginning to know it and to regret it.

1908 April 16, “A Few Lines on the “Big Burg””, in The Los Angeles Record, volume XX, number 9281, Los Angeles, Calif., page 4, column 1:

Let me conclude that TAS [The Absolute Sound] is a good product, even if it is sometimes difficult to understand for people who aren’t fluent in any of the New Yorkian languages, including American and Audio Latin.

1987, Jack Van Messel, “A Tough Cooky Makes a Too-Tough Review”, in The Absolute Sound, page 31, column 2:

The inescapable Beaux Arts style, the many monuments by McKim, Mead & White, the white brick 1960s behemoth apartment blocks towering above modest brownstone houses; French gothic chateaux, Italian Renaissance palazzi, sham Louis XVI furbelowed facades flaunt themselves next to restrained Georgian-style town houses; baroque-faced churches, prim Puritan places of worship, elaborate synagogues are jumbled next to turreted fantasies, vast apartment blocks, gleaming mirrored office skyscrapers. It’s all utterly New Yorkian.
