Yea not sure if I'm diggin the whole Iowegians.... Iowans is much better... if you can even say that. On Wisconsin?
Quoted from PaulyB18:Iowegians
Originally, it was a "term of endearment" for us Norwegians that settled in Iowa, hence Iowegian. However that name over the years kind of grew to be a term of endearment for anyone living in Iowa. History lesson over, Uff Da dontcha know!

Interesting... I'd never heard the term before, but it makes sense given the backstory. Don't think there's a Wisconsin equivalent though. I'm about a third Norwegian so I probably wouldn't be worthy of the title anyway.
