Not to be confused with Cork Onions. But generally speaking people from Dublin don't talk too much about either. I cycled through a town called Kansas. In Oklahoma. People in Kansas the state familiar with it (it's in the north east of Oklahoma) tended to it as "Little Kansas". Some people have told me that though the state of Arkansas is pronounced Ark-an-saw, the Arkansas River is pronounced Ar-kansas. Yes Corkonians. Not to be confused with Cork Onions.

And Arkansas is pronounced Arkansaw, not Ar-Kansas. However, people from Arkansas are referred to (when they're mentioned at all ) as "Arkansans". Unless they were BORN in Arkansas, in which case they frequently refer to themselves as "Arkansawyers". I'm still trying to work out "Kansas Citian" as opposed to "Kansas Citizen". Considering the ones I know, I think folks from Cork ought to be called "Corkers", but I'll bet they're called "Corkonians". I already know what Cork people call people who live in Dublin!
