US State Nicknames 2

A second nickname quiz adds 10 more states, again asking you to match each state to the nickname people use for it.

Prompts such as Hawaii or Kentucky ask for the nickname, mixing well-known ones with a few you might have to think about.

Here is a genuinely puzzling entry: Indiana is the Hoosier State, yet historians still cannot agree on where the word Hoosier actually came from. Several theories float around, but its true origin remains one of the more charming mysteries in American place-name history.

Recommended level: intermediate.
