On people from Wisconsin...

Those of us in Chicago sometimes poke affectionate fun at our rustic neighbors to the north. We tease them for wearing red long underwear to weddings and other formal events – as an outer garment. We call them cheeseheads and chuckle at the way they chomp their bratwurst, drink their brandy-beer boilermakers, and happily thump their distended tummies. The men too.
