Missourians
Kansas City area natives
Missourians are people who live in or come from Missouri, a state in the central United States.
The term carries associations with the state's "Show Me" motto, suggesting a practical, skeptical temperament that demands proof rather than accepting claims at face value.
Missourians turned out in record numbers for the election.
The word applies equally to lifelong residents and recent transplants who now call the state home.
