I remembered another exogroup name: flatlanders (people who don't live in the mountains). I learned that term when I was doing research for my trip to Vermont. I was reminded of it while reading a book set in the mountains.

That book claims that flatlanders have their own name for people who do live in mountains: hillbillies. I've never thought of that term as applying to all mountain dwellers.

"Because the rest of the house is freezing, the kotatsu gets a lot of action. It's the first place I go in the morning, and the last place I leave at night."
