There is that one word you can say and people around the U.S. can identify exactly what state you're from. For example, the word "hella" is mainly used in Northern California, and that is usually a dead giveaway that people are from the west coast state.

If you've ever wondered what word is associated with your state, Stacker released a list of each state's most used slang word.

Here is what Stacker had to say about finding each state's slang word:

"Americans also have massive amounts of state pride. They celebrate the things that set their states apart from others, and feverishly uphold local traditions and customs. Combined, these two things have resulted in some unique slang. Stacker has rounded up examples of local slang from every state. Taking data from various sources, we've highlighted some of the weird, wacky, and outright crazy slang words Americans use in everyday conversations."

So, what is Missouri's most used slang word?

Put out.

Here is what the report had to say about 'put out':

"In Missouri, if you're put out, you're likely angry or at least pretty ticked off. What might be so upsetting? Maybe a Hoosier, which, unlike in Indiana, is another way of saying redneck."
