Michigander
Detroit area native
A Michigander is a person from Michigan.
The term is the most common demonym for residents of the state, though some prefer Michiganian.
Michiganders are used to lake-effect snow.
The -gander ending, suggesting a male goose, has prompted the jocular feminine variant Michigoose, though Michigander applies to all.
