Could people who live in Oregon be called Oreganisms?
OrGonads? What say, Geoff? [oh boy I'm asking for it now e]

Well, Ms Grand and Glorious Poobah, them folks in Eye-O-Way call it Aura-Gone. Now that it's really upper Californica, they're right, the aura IS gone! Most folks say Ory-gun. The name may well derive from the French word, Ouragan, meaning hurricane. Lotsa French names hereabouts, thanks to the French fur trappers of days of yore. Lotsa wind, too, especially around Salem, the capital, when the legislature's in session.
