And it's "demonym". On first glance it looks slightly diabolical, but it's really just the word for when we label people by their town or state. Thus I'm a New Mexican Texan, by birth and residence. Some demonyms are pejorative, like Okie or, at least around here, yankee.
So now ya know.
But I need suggestions for a demonym for Tool, TX. Some possibilities: Toolite, Toolian, Tool-American, and the sublime "tool". Ha, yer a tool.

Quash, your output is starting to slack
Quickly return -- keep my interest intact
Quality's important, no doubt, though
Quantity can't be left out, so
Quit being a tool and come back.
Yeah, but what do you call a person from Tool?
First, there are no people from Tool. There's not really even a town called Tool. At least I've never been there. Or heard of it.
Second, if there were, they would be called Toolickers, they would speak Toolish, and they would all wear hats that say "How 'bout a Tool up your ass?"
Third, WTFC? Give me some real life-changing material to chomp on. Or at least something funny.
Well, if you've never heard of it then the fact that it exists in Henderson County, Texas, could cause the fabric of the universe to rip asunder.
Or not.
But I do like Toolickers for this putative people.
Well, that explains it. I've never been to Henderson County, Texas. Or heard of it.
But I think the potential fabric ripping would be cool.
Maybe "Tudlian" -- like Liverpudlian?
