A word used to describe an individual who is either a native of, or resides in, Minneapolis or St.
Paul, Minnesota, which are often referred to as the Twin Cities. Since the two cities are in such close proximity of each other, most residents of Minnesota, (known as Minnesotans), consider the area to be one large metropolitan area, specifically called the Twin Cities metro. This is why their
baseball team is called the Minnesota Twins. Many locals
may also refer to the
baseball team as "The Twinkies." Twinkies can also refer to an actual set of twins as well.
People from the Twin Cities are known as Twinkies just as people from Pheonix are known as Phoenicians

All the Twinkies are headed up north to their cabins for the
summer.

Paul, MN
