Brit Reacts to What Is The NICKNAME Of Each U.S. State? 

Oh I really wanna see him react to all the alien stuff in the Southwest!

The original conspiracy theory.

And the pepper is there because of the Hatch Chile Festival, a large annual event celebrating all things spicy 🌶🔥🌶🔥

Hatch New Mexico has a great Burger place Sparkys... I live I El Paso... it's a 2 hour drive but worth it...

Yes!! I love how Roswell plays up on the alien theme!! 💕

Another reason is the music BLUEGRASS THE GENRE NOT JUST GRASS 😂

That's really interesting because most of the time you hear about the opposite, people trying to restrict certain demographics from voting to get the result they want. Although I'm sure back when they became a state they didn't do it because they were really progressive or feminist or something lol😂

@nannerz1994 Maybe, but letting women vote definitely was and has been. They started voting in every election as of 1869. In 1870, Wyoming had the first female judge. Women's suffrage is written into the state's constitution. Other firsts for Women in the country that happened in Wyoming include: 1st female bailiff (1870) 1st female newspaper owners 1st female School Superintendant of Public Instruction 1st female State Legislator (1910) 1st female mayor (1912) 1st town to be entirely run by women 1st female governor (1924) 1st female state senator 1st female state auditor 1st female state treasurer 1st female secretary of state 1st female US Congressman (1995) 1st female state Supreme Court Judge (2000) 1st female US Army Infantry NCO (2015) There were 3 female delegates on the state's Constitutional Convention And I know I missed something 1sts. Wyoming was NEVER segregated. In all of our old pictures, the population is mixed white, black, Mexican, male, female etc. Clear back to the 1870s. So, although they are a red state (they are actually Libertarian), they have actually always been very progressive when it comes to citizen's rights. You won't find gerrymandering in Wyoming. Recent progressiveness of Wyoming: Schools opened in person as of August 2020 in Wyoming. But by law, if you had COVID, you were required to quarantine for 14 days, or you could be arrested... not that anyone was arrested. And there was a mask requirement. Like other red states, we aren't immune to MAGA. They tried to pass an abortion bill, but it was shot down because it violated the Wyoming State Constitution and Women's rights. They may have been largely traditional in their churches. They were fierce advocates for freedom of religion, welcoming all... even non-Christians. The tribes of Wyoming were the first in the country to have water rights on their land, too.

Okay. So we can blame Wyoming for all the problems 😂😂😂

@@Eniral441 Very progressive, they haven't lynched a homosexual since 1998!

Nice to see someone else from Wyoming here. I live in Kemmerer where the first ever JC Penny is. Lol. Of all places. We don’t have a Walmart but we do have JC Penny

Ditto!

Living in the lower peninsula in Michigan is great. You can point to where you live on your hand. 😂

@@dmelzinga Yes, we walk around with our maps permanently attached to our right arm.

Yeah I always thought it was called the dairy state and I even lived there for a summer 😂

I want to make a nomination for you guys to be called the Culver state 🤤

Which war was that again? Oh right the Civil War. NC was known as the Tar Heel state before the revolution just as this video said.

@@mrfun0000 Wrong they were called that during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. LOL!! Why would you say that someone has tar on their heels for no reason?? 😆 By all means continue to entertain us with your mental wizardry, Mr Mentality. 😆🤣

@@MAGGOT_VOMIT even the University of NC website says it was before the Revolutionary War and because of the all the dock work and tar production. What you say is true but not the reason for the nickname. The point is that anyone who works with tar all day will get it on their feet.

@@mrfun0000 Nope, then they would've just simply been called Tarfeet. Use common sense. I'm 50yr Revolutionary and Civil War relic hunter. I know what those 100's of old books said. "Tar Heel" was never a name used in any text before the Revolutionary war. Why would it have been? I know my state's history. You're just uttering bs.

Where the fairy tale of a ufo landing occurred.

No spaceship landed on earth ever. Good grief.

And you are correct. This guy is wrong about a lot of this.

#TITANUP

"landed" 😂 Yeah... landed straight into the ground without slowing down! 👽💥💀

The grass also has a blue hue from above when flying over the state. Speaking of the Derby, I live literally next to Churchill Downs and the Derby is coming up very soon. The neighborhood will be busy. This Saturday is Thunder over Louisville. Always nice to see the massive fireworks show.

There is also the Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green. BG also had a well-known brothel named Pauline's.

Daniel Boone is buried in Missouri where he died. You all stole the wrong body; that is what told at his son house where he died.

Yes, died and was buried in Missouri. He was then exhumed and moved to Kentucky. His family claimed the wrong body was moved because they were angry with Kentucky. Their reasoning makes sense and it is possible based on the unmarked and misplaced headstone theory. However, there is no evidence that the state took the wrong body but it is possible. So currently, both states claim his burial. Even though one may have the wrong person. It is wild. Maybe one day they’ll sort it out.

@@Raijin-RyuX24 Who gave the state of Kentucky permission to remove his body, if the family was angry with Kentucky?

That's just what they want you to think.

Area 51

@@deannepitre4191Area 51 isn’t in New Mexico it’s in Nevada. Roswell is in New Mexico

Yeah I was surprised Lewis didn’t know that about New Mexico with all the content he watches…

Allegedly 😉

Came here to say that....

Didn't know that... Thanks! 👍

North Dakota got ua beat in mass honey production, but ironically the company I used to work for there was started by a Mormon 😂

I tossed in Tax-achusetts, just to cover all our loving names for home.

Is Massholes what you guys call yourselves or just folks from Boston😂

Here in Maine we call you Massholes

@@fishinwidow35 I know Mainer is the official demonym, but it's a travesty if you don't call yourselves Maniacs.

Southern Michigander here, love ya all!

Heyo fellow michigander. Wolverine State!

Didnt we just get a new official nickname in Michigan a couple years ago? Water Winter Wonderland

@@DistortionSociety It was a slogan introduced back in 1967 on license plates, the Secretary of State reintroduced it back in 2022 on plates again, it is another nickname for Michigan but not official. "The Great Lakes State" is the current nickname adopted with House Bill 6385 in September of 2002.

Also, yes, the war over the Michigan Ohio border was a thing… it wasn’t much of a war though. More of an extremely heated argument

And Texas remembers.

2 orange T's

They actually did volunteer for the war of 1812, and most scurmishes following. Texas was settled by a lot of Tennesseans. And we lost people like Davy Crockett at the Alamo. We are definitely related states.

Bluegrass music got it's name, because it came from there.

Actually bluegrass music was named after Bill Monroe band who were called the bluegrass boys . However Bill Monroe was born in Kentucky in Rosine .

I Bluegrass wasn't planted for the horses there has always been bluegrass in KY. It was simply preferred grass for the horses. I live in KY and love the history just saying...

@@cathyhatfield445 there's plenty of it, in Roanoke valley, VA. Its gorgeous.

prairie is like the steppe

It's actually illegal to pronounce it that way in Arkansas lol. I used to date a guy from there and I said Arkan-sis and he got so mad, lol

What's wrong with "Our Kansas"?

Yeah I was coming here to say this LOL🎉

​@@pauladuncanadams1750 It's wrong🤷‍♀️

@@thequeenmac Maybe people in Ar-Kansas don't know how to properly pronunciate? Ever thought of that???

It was funny to see Lewis so confused on what a Prarie is! I have lived in it and heard about them my whole life! But I guess in England praries aren't a thing.

Diamonds in AR, also

And Idaho where he was obsessing over “gems” not realizing that can include diamonds

Yup. Okie here (20 miles from AR)so I know all about Arkansas

North Carolina has Gold as well.

NM?

Don't you also have Hela's and what's the word.....Meth? Just a little nudge there pal, many states can claim the Meth title 😂

My relatives in Alabama swing between calling it the heart of Dixie or calling it the Rolltide state. I'm assuming because of the University.

Nothing to be proud of.

@@themoviedealers when did he say he was proud?

@@yukikitsune7366the University Football Team to be exact.

@@themoviedealersyou lie well for an ignorant fool.

When I went to UNM in the 90s it was called Land of the Plague, Home of the Fleas. Because of, you know, The Plague.

@@georgemetz7277 Yea, that was a problem back then. Mostly on the reservations. I live close to the mountain, so no fleas, no mosquitoes, but more snow!

I was born in Carlsbad. People forget we have the caverns that run to Mexico. What sucked growing up, was being asked, "where I was born", I grew up in El Paso TX, so when I answered "Carlsbad", "You were born in a cave" 😒 New Mexico has tons of different parks and landmarks. We also have a natural waterfall nearby. Most of New Mexico is touristy. But it can definitely be the "Land of Entrapment", instead of Enchantment.

Rep it!!!!!

We have the most lakes and the most mosquitoes 😂

Alaska has over 3 million lakes...

@@maxzero9647 Just checked. 3,179 lakes in Alaska.

@@rachellesommerfeld6575 Those are only the ones that have official paperwork filed for names. From Wikipedia: Alaska has about 3,197 officially named natural lakes,[C][1][B] out of over 3,000,000 unnamed natural lakes,[2] approximately 67 named artificial reservoirs,[C][3] and 167 named dams.[C][4]

Florida has both tho

@@maryjane4432 barely any

@@maryjane4432 it’s known for alligators anyways

Everglades is known for having BOTH gators and crocodiles, as gators can be found across swathes of the Southeast in general

@@Jliske2 not that many crocodiles

I've heard the two explanations given in the video, plus also that in inn/bar fights, people would sometimes find a stray ear cut off and ask, "Whose ear?"

The crash was real

@@donaldjz not saying it wasn’t. I was born in Roswell. I have family that reportedly saw the craft wreckage. I think something happened, but what EXACTLY, we don’t know, and since it hasn’t been PROVEN, I used the word “supposed”. I think you misunderstand the meaning of the word. From the dictionary: Supposed: generally assumed or believed to be the case, but not necessarily so.

I knew not to trust this video, when the narrator called Arkansas "Ar-kansas" at the beginning of the video!

And in the summer or when it’s not cold enough to freeze it’s just a quick boat ride away… Born and Raised in Bristol Bay Alaska and we use boats and bush planes like the rest of the lower 48 use cars…😜🤣🤣🤣🫶🏻

CA in no longer the golden state now it is COMMIE-fornia or HELL-ifornia. State is completely destroyed.

Area 51 is indeed in Nevada, about 50 miles north of Las Vegas. It was rumored that the 'ufo' that crashed in Roswell, NM was taken to Area 51 to be studied.

​@@roneldridge9281That "Rumor" come about decades after the incident in 1947, The Groom Lake research facility (aka Area 51) wasn't built until 1951, the debris was sent to Wright-Patterson AFB. I got a family member who was an MP who handled the wreckage for a short time when it was sent to an Army Air Field near Dallas/Fort Worth before some big wig general had it shipped to WPAFB. These kind of rumors run rampant in the U.F.O. crowd.

The 1947 crash site is Roswell, but he is right about Area 51, that's actually just north of Vegas. A lot of people assume area 51 is in Roswell, but it's definitely in Nevada. That's funny about Arkansas, but it kills me when people pronounce the last S in Illinois too lol; my dad says it that way smh.

ya i didnt even see him mention it but I've always known it as The Magnolia State

The Gold Rush did bring incredible wealth and growth to California, but it came at an enormous cost for the Indigenous peoples who were already living there. When 300,000 people flooded into California, many Native American tribes were forcibly displaced from their lands, leading to the destruction of their way of life. Settlers brought disease, violence, and exploitation, and it’s well-documented that Native Americans were massacred during this time, with some even hunted for bounties. The rush for gold fueled the near-extermination of many Native populations, and this violent history is something that still resonates in Indigenous communities today. While the Gold Rush reinvigorated the U.S. economy, it also marks a chapter of severe genocide and displacement that can’t be overlooked.

I lived there in 1980. We jokingly called it the "Evergrey State" because of Mt. Saint Helens

Native Washingtonian here, and while you're correct about how the mountains block the moisture and how the west side is very green from all the rain, you are pretty inaccurate about the east side being a wasteland. The east side is where all the cherry, apple, pear orchards reside... potato, corn, wheat fields. There is a TON of agricultural from the east side. Furthermore, the majority of the power you get is from the dams on the east side giving electricity to the state. Being from Seattle myself, but having lived on the east side for 10 years when I was much younger, I grew to appreciate the beauty of the east side. Most people on the west side look down on the east side and take it for granted, which is a mistake.

Ya…. You’re not accurate in your description. The west side is rainy and wet not traditional “humid” which if you felt humidity for real you would understand that. Seattle is the only place I felt any humidity and I think that was because of the sun beating down wet pavement, causing that humid feeling but I now live on the west side of state and areas and there’s no humidity at all. I lived on the east side of the state for many years. Yeah it’s more arid, but it is not a wasteland, are you kidding me? Have you ever really lived there?

@@shesaid20 I've lived here in Spokane for over 40 years. I grew up on an orchard that was hard to keep alive. I lived north of Seattle for 8. Sticks and stones, guys. Anything south of I-90 and East of Wenatchee that doesn't have irrigation is rusty brown or barren (not sandy, though). Can you say the Tri-Cities to Clarkston are green? Barely. And that only is because of the rivers.

Hear ya sister!

Yep and that dude doesn't know what he's talking about. North Carolina was called the "Tar Heel" state because during the war everyone said that our soldiers in NC stood firm and couldn't be pushed back, as if they had Tar on their Heels.

Yeah, South Carolinians have a burr up their butt about that. But, California out grows both states. Besides, more Georgia peaches are eaten fresh and in high end restaurants. SC has the largest percentage ending up in cans. More isn’t better. Bless your heart.

Us South Carolinians call ourselves the "better peach state"

@@hairyreptar True. They do. But they really just grow MORE peaches. Not really tastier. It’s a catchy slogan, though

@ScottieRC You're right, now compare the size of the 2 states..

It’s been argued forever… but yeah it’s Ar-can-Sah 😂 the music is named after the plant though.

It’s the plant

Music was named for the plant

Kentucky is known for it's actual bluegrass that grows

Yes obviously the music is named after the plant 🤣🤣 i wasnt saying that the plant was named after music. I was saying the state nickname is in reference to music. Bluegrass is the offical state music. I know Wikipedia says its about grass..... but.... i live here?...

true they fucking sat on our shit the whole revolutionary war 😭😭 I’m curious about how the rebels living in new york city and on long island were treated during that time

And also ODU in Norfolk… I came to the comments and skipped the video to make sure they got Va. right… Seems like they did.

@Jessikalo17 Yeah, they got it right.
