That surely doesn't roll off the tongue. Have you tried saying it out loud?

Having lived in New Hampshire just about my entire life we had one word for them:

Massholes.

 

[tekz999]

The term is Massachusite isn't it?

I grew up there, they don't call themselves anything like that except maybe New Englanders...when traveling most would just say they are from Boston because everyone has heard of it...Bostonians if you want that kind of word.

None of those involved me since I, again, lived in NH. Aerosmith was never in my state (not even for a concert), we only have minor league sports teams but it's a nice place to live and Boston is only a 45 minute train ride away (or a 30 minute drive and 5 minute subway ride).

But - why all this fuss about an area that technically isn't even a state? (Mass. is a commonwealth, not a state and yes, Wikipedia is wrong about that).
