Second most boring state in the nation. Many seek refuge in other states in order to prevent their eventual transformation into an Ohioan; a half-dead species which points at deer whenever they see one in a field, is disgusted with all sports teams that are not part of The Ohio State University, is horribly disgusted with all who do not pronounce the "The" part of aforementioned college with pride, and requires a biweekly trip to Bob Evans in order to prevent starvation. We'd evacuate the entire state if we could, but the only place that would take us would be West Virginia, and we all know that's the only place worse off than us.
"Cedar Point is pretty cool. I mean, really, it is. I go there once every eight years and it compensates for the agony of nothing happening for the rest of my life."

"Hey guys, Ted Strickland just decided that five days should be taken off of winter break!"
"Hey guys, Ted Strickland just decided that snow days no longer exist, and that if we do miss a day on one than it has to be made up in Saturday during April unless we suspend our Spring Break!"
"Hey guys, Ted Strickland has just been voted out of office, just as his policies on school changes have taken place!"

Usually in the form of a question. In which you do not understand a statement. (What?/wut.) Or a reply to something completely ridiculous.

A boring state that I live in. It's not all hillbillies. I live in the north, and it's cool here.
Don't go further south in Ohio, or it'll be just like deliverence.

The Florida of the 2004 Presidential Elections.
Florida had dimpled chads; Ohio has provisional ballots.

Home of the criminal A-holes who run the First Energy Corporation, the folks who brought you the biggest electrical blackout in recorded history, and, save for less than a sixteenth of an inch of corroded metal at a nuclear power plant, the next Three Mile Island.

The most American and least distinct of all 50 states, for better and for worse. A bit of everything from city, farm, suburb, decaying industry, new industry, colleges, malls, liberals, conservatives, etc. means that we have nothing that makes us really stand out. (Contrary to the POV of the person here who has some weird bitter vendetta about a car accident...if only we had a rep like Boston for bad drivers, at least that would be distinctive, but in reality we don't.) By the way, none of y'all can pronounce it right, which makes me think everyone here either just drove through once, or never got south of Akron or west of Athens.
Nothing says "generic" like "Ohio."

The worst hellhole in the entire US. I had to live there for 25 years, so I know. In Columbus (the capitol), most people are rednecks AND wiggers at the exact same time. I once saw a guy driving along in a pickup truck full of manure, and he was wearing a doo-rag and blasting Snoop Dogg.
Many people think of Ohio as a state full of cows and hicks; while this is true, it's also true that the major cities have serious problems with gangs, crime and violence.
Many other contributors have mentioned that Ohio smells funny. This is because a large portion of the population hardly ever showers or changes their clothes.
Most people in Ohio are unfriendly and unintelligent. Also the weather sucks and is insanely unpredictable.
Ohio also boasts the worst drivers in the entire nation; they do not seem to understand the meaning of a green light (they believe that a green light means they should slow down and/or stop their car.)
Ohio is mostly a flat and boring state. The only really good thing about Ohio is Cedar Point, the number one rated amusement park in the US. Also, Ohio has one of the largest state fairs in the nation and Columbus has one of the largest fireworks displays in the nation. Oh, plus there's a GameWorks. Other than that, there's not much to do in Ohio, especially during the winter months.
Ohio is a nice place to visit during the summer if you want to see some of the attractions, but you definitely don't want to have to live there.
When I finally moved away from Ohio, I shouted "So long, Stinktown!" as I drove off.
