On the MySpace web site, users who selected "Florida" as their home state wound up with "Flevoland" displayed in error on the site. It was assumed by some users that "Flevoland" was slang for "Florida", but it was actually a glitch in the MySpace program.

The State of Florida.

A nickname for Florida. The name actually refers to a province in the Netherlands, but because of an error in the Myspace system, Flevoland appeared as the state for anyone from Florida. The glitch lasted for an unusually long time, which caused many people to believe it to be an intentional nicknaming of the state. The trend caught on and eventually resulted in an actual nickname.

Flevoland is a province of the Netherlands;
NOT Florida.
