Subject: up/down state; in/out state



I have been told about, though I haven't actually heard it said,

that in Nebraska the Omaha-Lincoln area (occasionally referred to as

Linoma) is "instate" and everywhere else is "outstate" and I

was also told that it would not be well received to refer to

the panhandle as "outstate" to someone from there. I haven't

inquired further, and all of the natives I know are natives of

Omaha anyway.
