Reminds me of a conversation I had on a train in Chicago a few months ago. My brother-in-law and me were heading to the Chi. Blackhawks game. They were playing the Vancouver Canucks. So I'm sitting there and my brother hands me my ticket... this is when this scrappy looking crazy wierd guy starts talking.
Guy: Going to the hockey game?
Me: Yep.
Guy: Who are they playing?
Me: Vancouver
Guy: Ah, the Canadians...
Me: No, its the Vancouver Canucks
Guy: They are the canadians right?
Me: No, thats Montreal.
*Now the guy is getting agitated*
Guy: Yea, they are Canadian!
Me: Well, ya, the city is in Canada... but they aren't the Canadians. That's Montreal.
Guy: Ya, but they are Canadian!
Me: Well, I'm sure some of the players on the team are Canadian... and the team is located in Canada...
Guy: Exactly, what I said, they are Canadian.
Me: I guess so then...
Guy: See, I was right.
Me: Uh... ya.
And if you're from there, its Les Habitants.

"The States" seems much more natural if you're in a foreign country at the time.Originally posted by: Passions
Why do you say you are from "the States"?
I only find foreigners calling America that, usually I just say I'm from America, and not "the States."
