- dragonwriter 9y agoAt least used in a political context, I've never seen “flyovee state” (which is mostly, in that context, a conservative stereotype of a liberal pejorative) used to refer to Illinois or the Midwest states to its east, only those to its west and the Western States not on the Pacific Coast.
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoFlyover states are what you fly over on the way from Boston/New York/DC to Seattle/LA/SF. It's anything not near the Atlantic or Pacific coast, where the stereotypical maps say "HERE BE REDNECKS."
