I’m from Missouree and I never heard it called anything but Missouree until I moved to Texas at seven, and here everybody called it Missourah. I’ve always thought it an odd situation where the rest of the country calls a state by a slang pronunciation that isn’t used within the state.
Then there’s Frisco though. I understand San franciscans don’t like the term Frisco.

And don’t yell, “Crisco!” in the Castro neighborhood.
