This list has been making its way around the web, and no one knows the original author, but this version was sent from the wilds of Hampshire County by Chris & Julie Cowan. Please add your reasons in the comment area below:You know you’re from Massachusetts if:
- You know what a pocketbook is
- You call them what they really are “sneakers” (not “tennies”)
- You think if someone is nice to you they either want something or they are from out of town
The public transportation system is known as the "T" and you'd rather drive in bumper to bumper traffic for 4 hours to get to Boston than be caught dead on the "Orange Line"- You could own a small town in Iowa for the cost of your house
- There are 24 Dunkin Donuts shops within 15 minutes of your house and that is how you give directions
- If you stay on the same road long enough it eventually has three different names
- 53 degrees is "on the warm side"
You've walked to Brigham's for an ice cream cone "to go" in the snow- You cringe every time you hear some actor/actress imitate the "Boston Accent" on TV
- You call chocolate sprinkles "jimmies"
- A water fountain is called a bubbler. Say it "bubbla".
- You can go from one side of town to the other in less than fifteen minutes
- You know how to pronounce towns like Worcester, Eastham, Chatham, Haverhill, Peabody, Scituate, and Leominster
- You know what they sell at a "packie"
- You keep an ice scraper in your car all year round
- Paranoia sets in when you can't see a Dunkin Donuts, ATM or CVS
- You've pulled out of a side street and used your car to block oncoming traffic so you can make a left
You've bragged about saving money at The Christmas Tree Shop- You know what a "regular coffee" is!
- You can navigate a rotary without a problem
- You use the words "wicked" "pissa" and "good" in the same sentence
- You know what a frappe is
- Saint Patrick's Day is your second favorite holiday
- You drink tonic and would never consider using it on your hair
- You never say "Cape Cod" you say "The Cape"
You went to Old Sturbridge Village and Plymouth Plantation at least once, in elementary school, but never to Bunka Hill- You know the Mass Pike and 495 create some sort of strange weather dividing line

All so, so true. Here are some other linguistic oddities: "dungarees" instead of jeans, "oleo" instead of margarine; "hamburg" instead of hamburger meat, "rubbish" instead of trash. (these are all currently used by my mother-in-law who hails from Southbridge.) Yes, I agree that TV and movies absolutely butcher the accent. Mass. natives butcher English enough as it is.

The biggest dwelling in Harwich was recently built by the guy who owns the cranes used in the Big Dig.
We thought that the tearing down of homes and the new building was a hotel.
WRONG!
Just a private residence for one of the Big Dig bandits who owned the cranes.
I wonder how many homes Jim Gordon will be able to afford when the offshore Big Dig is consumated?

Your only possible error in this list: my bro-in-law insists that Trophy Dome overlooking Wychmere Harbor was built by the guy who rented those orange barrels to the UncommonWealth, not the cranes.

My problem is that the offshore deep water technology is coming to fruition as we speak.
CW has a leg up on everyone. Why not wait and explore a better alternative site?
I would support an offshore site. I am not against wind power.
The proposed site will effect a lot of people and wildlife. NOT ME.
Please take the time to find the right site.

You Know You're From Massachusetts When...
The person driving in front of you is going 70 mph and you are cursing him for going too slow. (Damn school zones)
When ordering a tonic, you mean a Coke...not quinine water. (I've had detectives look up from their meals in cafes when I asked for Coke.)
You almost feel disappointed when someone doesn't flip you the bird when you cut them off or steal their parking space. (I tell people to **** thmselves when they don't let me pull out quickly enough, and I'm not even a native)
You know how to pronounce the names of towns like Worcester, Billerica, Haverhill, Scituate, Gloucester, Duxbury and Cotuit. (Try spelling it out in the comments section)Add your own
You have driven to New Hampshire on a Sunday in order to get beer. (Blue Laws)
You know that there are two Bulger brothers, and thatthey're both crooks. (Ironically, I would trust the gangster more than the State Senator)
You know what they sell at a packie. (I go to the "liqour store" .... my husband goes to the "packy"... it's the same place.)

You know at least one bar where you can get something to drink after last call. (It's called "Every Bar.")
You can actually find your way around Boston. (Well.... that stupid Big Dig thing screwed everything up, right when i thought I had it down!!)
Evacuation Day is a recognized holiday. (I have never taught a class on Evacuation Day, and would take it off even if I taught in Arizona.)
You know what First Night is. (It's actually Last Night, and the following First morning.")
You know at least one guy named Sean, Pat, Whitey, Red, Bud, Sully or Seamus. (If you could combine Sloan and Shea's dating resume into that of one rather prolific sister, she'd have dated a man with each of those names.)

Therefore, iced coffee will warm you in the right weather conditions. This knowledge is essentially why we beat Indianapolis in football every January)

Cape10s,
Mitt Romney graduated from both the Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School. He was a founding partner in a Boston venture capital firm where he made a fortune, some of it by backing Massachusetts start-ups (Staples, for one)and has owned a house in Belmont, where he raised his children, for decades. He was very much a Masachusetts resident when he ran for U.S. Senate in the 90's.
