Cheesehead

Dairy state devotee

A cheesehead is a person from Wisconsin, the state famous for dairy production.

The term is affectionate rather than insulting, embraced by Wisconsinites themselves—particularly fans of the Green Bay Packers football team, who wear foam hats shaped like wedges of cheese: The cheeseheads filled the stadium for the playoff game.
