Arkansawyer. A nickname for a native of Arkansas, often used by Arkansas residents themselves, because the original spelling of the state’s name was Arkansaw. Arkansawyers have suffered their share of insults in the language, including Arkan- sas asphalt (a log road); Arkansas chicken or T-bone (salt pork); Arkansas fire extinguisher (a chamberpot); Arkansas lizard (any insect louse); Arkansas travels (the runs, diarrhea); and Arkan- sas wedding cake (corn bread). |
