Cake Eaters

Edina makes the Word of the Day at City Dictionary.

Cake Eater: Edina, MN

An originally derisive (yet, now humorously accepted) term for an Edina resident, which highlights the stereotype of the upper-middle class suburb. Derived from Marie Antoinette’s quote: “Let them eat cake.”

Edina’s is not the first or the only suburb to bear this nickname, but I guess there has to be one in every metro area. Congratulations!
