My native state, Connecticut. If you can spell it you must be from there. But where? Certainty not Fairfield County, that appendage of New York. We hear tell it was seized in colonial times because New York wanted Long Island. No, that is in NO WAY The Nutmeg State. And hey, we ARE the Nutmeg State, not some hoypaloy Constitution State, let’s be real. Yes, I am from Connecticut, New London County to be exact. We sometimes think we are the forgotten part. The Merritt Parkway and Berlin Turnpike don’t run through our part of the state. Hartford keeps neglecting to fund Route 11.
We are the quiet seafaring part of the state. Picturesque harbors, quaint small towns and a deep Swamp Yankee heritage. Corn fields growing in the summer sun and ton of apples and apple cider in the fall from our numerous farms. Yup, we still have them. We also have those New England accents, us and Windham County to the north. We are diehard BoSox fans, Celtics, Bruins and Pats, too. We are where Whalers put out in the hunt for whale oil and where the first ship powered by atomic energy set sail as well. Today it rests as a national monument, moored in the Thames River at the main gate of the United States Submarine Base New London in Groton. We also have the most popular attractions in the state, Mystic Marinelife Aquarium and The Mystic Seaport. Oh, and did I mention our Native Americans? Their creative buisness side burst forth and spawned two mega casinos and show places, Mohican Sun and the largest casino in the world, Foxwoods.
Yup, we ARE Connecticut

Swamp Yankee: "Where you from"?
Fairfield Resident: "Connecticut"!
Swamp Yankee: "By golly so am I. What part"?
Fairfield Resident: "Fairfield".
Swamp Yankee, in disgust. "That ain't Connecticut you are an branch of New York City, not fit for human beings to live in"!

The most liberal state in the United States of America.
Also known as the place with no ghetto and with a bunch of liberal butlers and maids.

How many Connecticutans does it take to screw in a light bulb?
NONE, they get their LIBERAL BUTLERS to do it for them

Where New Yorkers come and live for the summer and or in retirement. The state that is in fact, the wealthiest state, but the old retired people refuse to put money into good causes. Where New Yorkers tend to not obey many of Connecticut's traffic laws, have no problem cutting you off, and still talk on thier cell phones while in the car. The area where "Raggies" are most prevalent in lower class towns.
My neighbors are from NewYork... They ask me not to plow thier snow because they like the "pristine" look. Until the Snowplow comes by later and totally ruins it for them.
My old school still looks like a war zone. Due to the old people voting "No" many times consecutively to raise funding for repairs
My towns firehouse loses funding because the old people deny funding.
These old people from connecticut are definately rich, and about to die soon, but they white-knuckle thier money

connecticut....the richest state in the nation, home to the largest casino in the world, and has some of the most dangerous, and overlooked ghettos on the east coast, these being bridgeport, new haven, new britan, hartford, and of course, the R-O-C-rockville. most people think that because we live in connecticut we have like gucci and prada bags (or whatever, i wouldnt know, i dont have one and dont want to cause i am a guy) when we are actually a fairly normal group with some rich people living here. most people say that connecticut is a suburb of new york and boston, and this is probably true. most of us here dont really shop at abercromie(GAY), spend time in cape cod, wear flip-flops in december, have cars that cost more than our school, and all that shit. what we do have is a bunch of snobs that do and have these things and give the rest of us a bad name. most of the other people that posted about connecticut are just being stereotypical assholes(especially martha) that probably have never even been here or if they have, they havent even been to the ghetto. if you really want to see for yourself that im not lying, take of the prada bag, stop being preppy and come spend a day in the real part of connectict. if you dont like any of what im saying you can write me an email and fuckin complain about it(angubeef@sbcglobal.net). so fuck you, america! shout outs to everyone in rockville that i love!!
Westport ppl: Oh, are you from NYC or something?
Rockville ppl: No, we're from Rockville.
Westport ppl: Where's that?
Rockville ppl: Connecticut.
Westport ppl: Heh, ghetto scum.
Rockville ppl: Say that again and you'll get fuckin' popped in yo' jaw, bitch!
Westport ppl: ..::run away::..

The type of attire one would wear to a garden party*. Such garments include button down shirts, polo shirts, sweater vests, bow ties, khakis, etc.
Synonym: Preppy
Origin: Derived from "Connecticut" latin for "land of the rich and waspy" and "casual" meaning "relaxed and comfortable apparel". The term was coined by Andy Bernard, Regional Manager of the Dunder Mifflin/Sabre Company.
*Garden Party: A dignified picnic or barbecue but better. It's quieter and there are rules.

What's the dress code for this Garden Party?
I'm glad you asked, Connecticut Casual.
Any chance Connecticut Casual is Pennsylvania Business?

Despite being called the "Rose City" Norwich has a constant smell of rotting plants combined with cannabis. A favorite spot for middle class white people to pretend to be street thugs while staying safe from the actual streets in New London. Local pastimes include dining at the premiered 7/11, and shoplifting the local Goodwill. Main exports include Meth, Crack and shitty ass drivers. You won't have your car broken into but don't be surprised to find homeless people rubbing their stomach on your car if you leave it for more than 5 minutes. Local mothers ship their welfare claims to the Norwich Free Academy where students either choke on fumes from poor ventilation or get expelled for asking teachers for prescription drugs. If you live in surrounding towns like Bozrah, Lebanon, or Preston you probably know someone from here who either drives a shitbox Subaru/Civic complete with monster energy stickers, thinks selling 25$ of weed a week is the "grind" or claims Chris Webby cured his depression.
"Hey man you ever been to Norwich Connecticut?" Nah Fam, not a fan of watching local crackheads try to fight hicks from Lebanon just trying to get weed"
