Hello, I’m a Freshman that just joined this year. I’m on team 228, “GUS” from Meriden, CT. So far this year, I’ve had a blast on the team with the FVC build and it’s been fun building the FRC build too. I hope to learn all I can from this site.
Ben…
Welcome.
Enjoy your stay.
GUS is a great team. Good Luck and have fun.
Welcome to my fellow nutmegger!
Our state has such a weird noun for residents.
Welcome new Connecticut yankee in chief delphi’s court
Well, that certainly sounds better than Nutmegger… and what else would we use, Connectican??? Connecticer??? Connecticutter??? People from Da Cutt???
Where does Nutmegger come from? I think it has a nice sound to it.
Yankee peddlars used to sell nutmeg. Sometimes they weren’t very scrupulous and sold fake nutmeg. So it it’s not entirely a nice nickname! But Connecticut is known as the Constitution State and the Nutmeg State, hence we’re nutmeggers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutmegger
I use that term a lot with other people and they just look at me funny. I guess they don’t really know their state that well.
