SET ____ Let’s get strarted with nine of them from A to Z!

1 - CALIFORNIA - It seems self-evident that the principal import of this state is AFRICAN OIL; and that at least some of its residents have revived the ancient Roman Saturnalia under the updated name of the FORNICALIA.

2 - COLORADO -Consistent with its role as a mining state, it has something of a COAL ODOR about it.

3 - FLORIDA -Secretly published maps of the state show a town  named OLDFAIR. 

4 - MAINE - The most common words are AMINE, an organic compound; and for fans of the Japanese subculture… ANIME.
 5 - MINNESOTA -Like a chameleon, this name can twist itself into many forms, the most elegant transposal being into NOMINATES. Other rearrangements include MAINSTONE; ANTINOMES, metaphysical contradictories; ANTIMESON, the antimatter counterpart of a subatomic particle;  adn my favourite MOST INANE, in its superlative.
 6 - NEW YORK - consider the word KEY-WORN: worn out by overuse of a key, said of keyholes.
 7 - OREGON -One who has interes in Botanics may consider A HOLM OAK (see Webster’s dictionary in its Third Edition) .
 8 - TENNESSEE -That special brand of common sense peculiar to teenagers is known as TEEN SENSE.
 9 - WASHINGTON -SNOW-HATING citizens are the majority of its population.
