Gold Hunter was sure prescient for Hollywood and Beef Head still aptly describes modern Texans. And although being a Web Foot isn't much better than being a Beaver, at least we're not Greasers, Suckers, Lizzards, or Bug Eaters. But WTF is a Wooden Nutmeg?
CT was the Nutmeg State because some of its early residents traded nutmeg for goods. Some of the purchasers believed the nutmeg they bought was not real and that they were actually traded wooden balls. Was this true? CT Yankees have always been considered shrewd business people. The nickname Nutmeggers refers to their business smarts.
