BURBANK, CA - A popular nickname for Michiganders in the Lower Peninsula was the answer to a clue on a recent episode of "Jeopardy!"

The $1,200 clue, which appeared on Wednesday, May 3, was selected by contestant Krista Denn, a human resources manager from Brooklyn Park, Minn.

"Yoopers, from Michigan's Upper Peninsula, call Lower Peninsula folks these, as they live under a bridge."

The answer, of course, is trolls. Something that Yoopers often call people in the Lower Peninsula due to their location "below" the Mackinac Bridge.

Ragavan Ramsubramani, a financial analyst from New York City, answered the question correctly. He went on to win the game. You can see the exchange at the 15-minute mark of the video below.

The clue appeared in a category titled "Where Ya From?" The collection of questions focused on location based questions.

Michigan-themed questions often appear on the long-running game show. Traditions in Holland, Mich. were the subject of two different clues which aired on the show in February.
