In the early 90's OSU had a basketball player named Bryant Reeves who was from the huge metropolis of Gans, Ok. He was nicknamed Big Country by his teammates. We used CB's at work, and apparently coworkers thought I looked and/or sounded country so they gave me the moniker little country.
I remember Big Country. He went on to play for the Vancouver Grizzlies IIRC. Helluva ball player.
