Connecticut's nickname is the Nutmeg State. What a sham. Obviously someone running the Constitutional Congress was really reaching when they came up with that one.
"OK, Delaware, you joined first so you can be the First State. And Rhode Island, you've got miles of beautiful Atlantic shoreline so you can be the Ocean State. And Connecticut--yeah, Connecticut--you can be the--nut--meg--state. Nutmeg State. That's good."
And then the Connecticut representative got all mad and his friend came up to him and reminded him what Connecticut was like. "Just be glad they didn't bring in the bulldozers, pave everything from New York to Boston and call us the Inter State."
Connecticut has two nicknames though. The other one is the Constitution State. Great thinking, Connecticut. Way to distinguish yourself. Name yourself after the document every single colony has to sign before they become a state. Might as well have called yourself the American State.

I believe Connecticut is called the Constitution State because it was the first state to draft a constitution of its own. Something like that.
I may be wrong....
Look it up.
That's true but who the hell knows that. And they could have called themselves the American State for being home to American Paper Goods or something but it still would have been stupid.
ah come on now ... that wasn't very nice.
no, no it wasn't......
But it was funny as hell, lol
Haha. Wow.
For the record, I don't know who Anonymous is.
I think The Fork is probably the number one reason why this site is so unpopular. At least that's what I'm going to say to make myself feel better.
