I never knew "Parisian" was how to refer to "one from Paris"

Learn something new every day.

To be clear, I just didn't think anyone would refer to someone from Paris specifically (rather than, "French").

I mean, a lot of places you would add "-ite" but I'm guessing that would be a less-than-ideal suffix for this particular city lol


As someone who knows a lot of New Yorkers and Texans, it's definitely curious that people would refer to themselves as from a city versus from the country itself.
