Floridians
Gulf Coast residents
Floridians are residents or natives of Florida, the southeastern U.S. state.
The term appears in discussions of regional politics, hurricane preparedness, and distinctive local culture: Floridians are used to hurricane season.
The word sometimes carries humorous connotations, given Florida's reputation for eccentric news stories and extreme weather.
