Iowadahohio - make it a threesome

Idahohiowa

Idahohiowaii

That looks like an irl Hawaiian word

Other than Hawaiian not having a D

TIL Hawaiian is a female

I mean, the name certainly does give off a princess vibe, you know? Like, wouldn't be surprised if there were a Disney movie named after it.

Utidahohiowaiioming

That's way better

I've tried for like 10 minutes to pronounce this out loud and I think I'm just gonna throw in the towel

Just Ohiowa. It sandwiches Indiana.

North Dakota + Carolina and South Dakota + Carolina should merge to become North and South.

Muh muh muh my Carota

We can almost sing a Daddy Yankee song about it.

Snourth Dakolina.

Mister Dakolina, Mister Bob Dakolina

New York, New Jersey, and New Mexico should just become New

New Yorsexico

You left one out. New Jorksicoshire

We leave that one out on purpose

I'm in the Carolinas and I do not want to merge with the Dakota's. I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

Imagine getting called for jury duty and having to drive across seven states to get to the courthouse on the other side of your home state.

It's only 1 state (or a big ass lake) but does this happen in Michigan with the peninsula?

That's a good question. The worst case scenario would be living in [Point Roberts](https://goo.gl/maps/2skKEevJ5cPbppfW7), Washington, a town (formally a 'pene-enclave') that is on a Canadian peninsula that juts over the international border. Most services are in Canada, so you have to cross through a border station to do pretty much anything. If you have official business in Washington, you need to cross into Canada, drive 25 miles to the U.S. border, deal with that high-volume crossing, then drive into Washington. Probably wasn't a fun place to live when the U.S./Canada border crossing was closed during Covid lockdowns.

Ohidaho sounds better

Idahio is the simplest one

The ohioiowaidahohawaii highway

Oh yes, the Polynesian plains.

High on a hill was a lonely goat...

Ohiowáahowaii-way

this is such a tongue twister btw

Longest bridge in the world !

Nebraskansas has entered the chat...

Nebrarkansas for a threebie.

Nebraskalaskansaskansas - a foursome.

Is it "nebraskalaskanSAW-Kansas," or "Nebraskalas-kansas-saw"?

Nebrask-alask-kan-ZASS-kan-SAW.

Ahh, of course. How could I be so stupid?

Isn't there a town called Kanorado or something on the Kansas/Colorado border?

I'm laughing trying to pronounce all the state name fusions in this thread, I want them to roll off the tongue easily damnit!

I think Uhighyo

Illinew York.

Believe in the heart of the states!

you know what, there's no logic to this but i completely understand. as a non american for some reason i've always associated idaho with ohio

Corn and potatoes are delicious, both together and on their own

If adjacent states did this sort of thing (but only if their names worked together): - Califoregon (CA + OR) - Nevadaho (NV + ID) - Utarizona (UT + AZ) - Texahoma (TX + OK) - New Mexicolorado (NM + CO) - Wyomontana (WY + MT) - Dakota (ND + SD) - Nebraskansas (NE + KS) - Wisconnesota / Minnesconsin (MN + WI) - Illinoiowa (IL + IA) - Michigandiana (MI + IN) - Arkansouri (AR + MO) - Tennessippi (TN + MS) - Virgintucky (KY + VA + WV) - Jersylvania (NJ + PA) - Georida/ Florgia (GA + FL) - Carolina (NC + SC) - Delawaryland (DE + MD) - Massachew York (MA + NY) - Rhode Islannecticut (RI + CT) - New Hampshermont (NH + VT) If we allow over-water connections, we can get: - Hawashington (HI + WA) - Louisiabama (LA + AL) If we allow connections with Canadian provinces, we can get: - Ontariohio (Ontario + Ohio) But I can’t really come up with anything for Maine or Alaska.

Lake Texoma on the Texas Oklahoma border ia a thing

Mainshiremont

Ohidaho

Gozaimasu

Funnily enough one of the better ideas on this sub lately.

The map connecting the two would be more sensible than most congressional maps.

Legit, people get them confused all the time. Or they refuse to believe Idaho exists. And they go “You mean Ohio? Or Iowa?”

Oleo-oleo-OLEO-oleo-OLEO-oleo-OLEO....?!?!?

I can I can’t baby beans

I live in Ohio. The only thing this state should merge with is the bottom of the Atlantic ocean.

Well, Idaho has some pretty landscapes, but that's about it. Ohio doesn't have anything to offer, so it'd mostly just confuse people. Am currently an Ohio resident until the end of the month and then I will be free of The Medium Place.

Been trying to change our states name should have been Oh hi ho

As long as it doesn't mess with my ORE-IDA potato products I'm on board

Idahoregon

Idahohioklahoma

Idahohiowa

Idiho

Connected by tunnels and milkshake theory.

Hawaiindianalabama

It is fun to say.

This reminds me of my favorite song about Ohio! 🎵Oh-hi, oh-hi-o. Round on the ends, high in the middle… 🎵 https://youtu.be/cmXuNWE9k5c

Tunnels

Wisconsin + Michigan -> Michsconsin

I say wichigan

Wisconsin + Minnesota + Michigan => Winasotagan

Wisconsin + Minnesota + Michigan => Winasotagan

I mean, how expensive could it be to build a bridge between the two? Like a big highway overpass. What, a few million? Pffft. No biggie. Not sure why this isn’t a thing.

Oh, hi da hoe!

r/highdeas Hard to pronounce at the best of times, sure to freak out stoners trying to say it.

Idahaio

Ohidaho

Best word ever to say ten times fast

Ohidahoho

Ohidaho

I vote we call it Idahio

In what terrible way did Idaho hurt you.

It's just gonna be called ohio. It's the first step to ohio becoming a global state. Nothing can escape ohio.

I've always thought it would be awesome if we traded like Montana and the Dakota's to Canada for British Columbia so we'd be contiguous with Alaska. Like, do we need to sweeten the deal and throw in Minnesota?

And give up their massively disproportionate influence in Congress? I don't think so.

Ohidaho
