You can take the Masshole out of the Bay State, but you can’t take the Bay State out of the Masshole. Here are a few ways to spot a true Massachusetts native out in the wild.
1. They recognize two seasons: winter and construction.
2. Their car/house/child/body is covered in Red Sox paraphernalia.
3. ...or Patriots merchandise.
4. ...or Bruins gear.
5. They're fond of using hand signals to correct the poor technique of other drivers.
6. They sprinkle the word "wicked" around like a linguistic flavor enhancer.
7. They know where to get the absolute best clam chowder and nothing anyone says will convince them otherwise.
8. Their lunchbox contains a fluffernutter sandwich and some Cape Cod potato chips.
9. They measure distances in hours and minutes, not miles.
10. They're holding a Dunkin Donuts cup. And it's not disposable.
11. They eat their lobster on a roll. (This mouthwatering meal is from the Wellfleet Beachcomber.)
12. Speaking of rolls, they take their hot dogs on buns like these. No rounded buns here.
13. They're confused and a little weirded out by "big ball" bowling.
14. They order jimmies on their ice cream. Heaven help you: don't give them sprinkles instead.
15. They have a spare ice scraper handy. And a spare snow shovel...and a spare tire. Winters in Massachusetts are intense.
16. They can spell Massachusetts. On the first try and they don't have to write it down first.
17. They tell you to take the first exit at the "rotary" and "bang a uey" at the lights.
18. To them, The Pike is not a fish. The Pike is a headache.
19. When life get them down, they know the best remedy is family, friends, and appreciating all that their incredible state has to offer.
