Yokelhoma or Yokelahoma (Oklahoma nickname)

“Yokelhoma” or “Yokelahoma” is an unflattering nickname from people who think that Oklahoma or the University of Oklahoma is filled with a bunch of “yokels.” The term is not a common one, but it is one of many nicknames used at the Texas-Oklahoma football game known as the Red River Rivalry.
   
Other nicknames that Texans have used for Oklahoma and Oklahoma University include Chokelahoma, Jokelahoma, Mobilehoma, and Zero U.

GIVE EXAMPLES that clearly illustrate the meaning you attach to it. No more of your “he told me” crap. That might be passing at Yokelhoma state, but not here!

I’ve manfully refrained from watching “M.E., Myself, and I” a second time, but I have a vague recollection that she blew insouciantly into Baltimore from Texas or Yokelahoma or some such place.

A hearty round of Bronx cheers to the many sourpuss Oklahoma football fans who got their Twinkies all atwitter over my Tuesday column, in which I jokingly renamed the state Jokelahoma and Mobilehoma. As a native son of Yokelhoma, I realize from all the vitriolic e-mail I received that I should have homed in on some of the state’s top tourist attractions, like Big Bob’s Lease-a-John in Lawton.

Folks around these parts are talking about just two subjects: invading Iraq and the invasion of Dallas on Saturday by a bunch of Oklahoma Gomers for the Texas-OU game (prediction: Texas 24, OU 20). So let’s get on with our annual sophomoric yet therapeutic spanking of Okrahoma, Jokelahoma, Mobilehoma, Brokelahoma, Chokelahoma, Croaklahoma or whatever you prefer to call it.

I hate to disappoint you University of Texas football fans, but I won’t be trying to help your cause in Saturday’s big game in Dallas by hurling insults at the entire state of Oklahoma this year. Oh, I realize that every October, it has become a tradition for me to compose tasteless, crude, nasty, mean-spirited, vile, juvenile, unfair, lowdown, slimy, rotten and, yes, immature sophomoric material about the folks of Oklahoma right before the OU-Texas game.

Over three years as a starter at Texas they lost all of 2 games, both of them to Yokelahoma. Both in years where OU either won the championship or played for it.
