cheesehead

Foam wedge wearer

A cheesehead is a person from Wisconsin, especially a fan of the Green Bay Packers football team.

The term comes from Wisconsin's dairy industry and cheese production.

Packers fans wear foam hats shaped like cheese wedges: The cheeseheads were out in force at Lambeau Field.

The word can be mildly teasing but is worn as a badge of pride by Wisconsinites.
