My cat has just performed one of her household duties. In doing so, she has reminded me of an old nick-name for citizens of Nebraska. What is this name, and why were they called that?

Probably 'bug-eaters', as I can't imagine your cat has done any 'cornhusking'! 'Bug eater' came from the Nebraskan bats which were got the nickname because of the huge amount of insects they ate. Apr 14 05, 11:46 PM
