If a tourist says, "Look at the beautiful foliage", and you say, "Yeah, it's a foot deep on my lawn.".......................

If someone says "Have a nice day" and you give them the finger...

Maybe it's just where I live.

I was born in CT and still have a lot of relatives in CT/MA/ME/NH, and those are so true!

I have a Halloween photo of me when I was four, wearing my quilted red snow jacket with the white faux fur trim over my black cat costume, if I can find it later I'll scan it and post it.

These are more Massachusetts and RI than all of NE but close enough...

If you can identify tourists by those who go to "cape cod" rather than "The Cape"...

If you think that "Manhattan" Clam Chowder is an abomination...

If you try to beat people up who call Boston "Beantown"...

If you know what the "hub" is...

If you learned how to ski at Wachuset...

If you hear the water temp at the beach has reached 55 degrees and think "sauna!"...

If you know that, yes, the ocean CAN freeze, and you've seen it...

If you can't indentify a single state west of the Mississippi and south of the Mason-Dixon line, you just know its "out there"... and you know california is all the way over, and florida is that thing sticking off the bottom...

If you really do know that the western half of CT is not New England, but really a small, wannabe new york...

You are from New England

(my family is in RI, and I am in TN for now, and going to UConn soon!!)

My sister told you you can buy the del's mix in the market. I wonder how it tastes.

If you know how to pronounce Worcester, Gloucester, Haverhill, and Billerica, you are from New England...

If you say "I am going to the outlets" and everyone knows you are going to Maine.

Almost everyday my kids would ask for coffee milk to drink in WDW when we were there a couple of weeks ago.

Greetings from Upstate NY:


If you open your pool in May, but don't swim in it until August, and that's only because you happen to be on fire at the time.......You live in New England!!!!

 

[ducklite]

If you know how to pronounce Worcester

That's one of the first words I learned how to read! I can remember being probably around six or so, just when you first learn to sound out words, and was trying to sound it out phonetically.

We used to drive on 84 (I lived in Manchester, so life kind of revolved around the Middle Pike and 84) and there was a big sign near Pratt & Whitney on 84 that said "Worcester XX miles." I had cousins in Worcester, so I knew how to say the word, "Wuh stah" but couldn't understand that "Wer-chest-er" from the sign and "Wuh Stah," where we went some Saturdays, were one in the same place.

Try and explain that one to your jsut starting to read child!
