Connecticut is not all rich. Beside Fairfield County, it is really pretty normal. I live in New Haven, and honestly I do not feel CT deserves to have the "Rich State" title. It just isn't accurate. There are many "Ghetto" neighborhoods and high crime areas all around, people outside of Connecticut just don't take the time realize. We're not all rich, yes we make more on average per household, but its not all like that. If people took the time to realize CT isn't just of the home of Prep School snobs and Yale, then maybe they'll understand what we're all about.
Are you from Connecticut?
Yes.
So, you're rich and live in a colonial house?
Far from it, we're not all like that.
Sure you aren't.
Yes.

Get the Connecticutmug. One of the States of the United States of America and one of the original 13 colonies to declare their independence from Great Britain. Was among the first of the states to seek independence. Connecticut has a rich history and was the home of many patriots. Connecticut is currently among the richest state in the union, and is unfortunately largely filled with rich white liberals. Good education is available to those who can afford it, but taxes are high, and some consider it one of the least free states based on personal and economic freedoms. Drivers are rude (probably 2nd worst in the nation) but not as bad as nearby Massachusetts.
Politically it is usually a blue state filled with idiotic liberals with a bad habit of reelected the same corrupt politicians like Chris Dodd. Some fear Connecticut will turn into an ineffective, bankrupt, one-party state like Massachusetts.

Get the Connecticutmug. 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"!

Get the Connecticutmug. 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?

Get the Connecticut Casualmug. 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"
