Massachusetts

A state in New England, home of several famous sports teams, rich history, a great culture, as well as some bad stuff mixed in too. A common misconception is that everyone from Massachusetts is from Boston, and that Massachusetts is one big city. This is not the case however. On the quiet, western side of the state, it's mostly farms and small towns. There are some larger cities, though, such as Northampton and Springfield, but it isn't terrible populated. We in western Massachusetts are nothing like our eastern counterparts; we're better drivers, we speak normally, and basically everything opposite what you would think someone from Boston is like. Except for wicked, we do say wicked.

Massachusetts

Contrary to popular belief, not all people from MA have a bostern accent. In fact even most bosteners don't have the famous accent. Home to some of the most prestigious schools such as Harvard and BU and one of the leading States in the gay rights movement. Terribly cold winters and very hot summers with some of the most unpredictable weather out there....
"Yo im from Massachusetts and i speak like this : Pahrk yur cah on hahvard drive"
"Don't talk about shit you don't know idiot we don't fucking talk like that."

Massachusetts

A state in North Eastern Part of the United States. it is part of New England. A state where our professional teams are amazing. teams like the Boston cannons, the Boston Blazers, The New England Patriots, The Boston Bruins, The Boston Red Sox and the Boston Celtics. It is a hot bed of amazing up and coming sports athletes. We drive bad, Grammar is bad, we get into arguments over small incidents, we hate the Yankees and anyone who supports them, we have amazing Universities and people come from all over to come to these schools. Our weather is just perfect. it never gets too cold or never too hot. The highway system is confusing but not to locals. Many cranberry bogs here are important to people just because of ice skating. one of many states to decriminalization weed. just an all around amazing state.

Massachusetts

A place where a man's shit-filled rectum and gaping asshole are the legal equivalent of a uterus and vagina.
One man says: "I say there sir, is your wife pregnant?" The man from Massachusetts replies: "No, he's just constipated..."

Massachusetts

The land where the pilgrims landed.
Massachusetts is one of the only two states in the the US to be in the International Cool Club(The other State being Connecticut), on that note, Massachusetts was the first state in the US to legalize gay marriage(Connecticut being the second).
"Massachusetts" is Algonquian for "Near the great little-mountains", or "at the great hill", usually identified as Great Blue Hill on the border of Milton and Canton, Massachusetts.

The capital of Massachusetts is Boston, named after the city of the same name in England, in fact, most names of places in Massachusetts come from places in England.

Many insults geared towards Massachusetts are outdated as are most stereotypes these days, For one "Taxachusetts" doesn't really make sense anymore as out of 50 states Massachusetts' taxes are ranked #34.

The population of Massachusetts is estimated 6,497,967, (87.89% White, 7.58% Black, 0.65% Natives, 5.13% Asian, 0.17% Pacific Islander)
Breakdown of Whites is 23.5% Irish, 13.5% Italian, 12.9% French/French Canadian, 11.4% English, 5.9% German.

Massachusetts also has large communities of people of Finnish and Swedish descent; Armenian, Lebanese (Worcester) descent, Greek Americans, Lithuanian Americans and Polish Americans. Massachusetts "Yankees," of colonial English ancestry, still have a strong presence.

The religious affiliations of the people of Massachusetts, according to a 2001 survey, are shown in the table below:
Christian – 69%
Catholic – 44%
Protestant – 22%
Baptist – 4%
Congregational/United Church of Christ – 3%
Episcopal – 3%
Methodist – 2%
Pentecostal – 2%
Other Protestant or general Protestant – 8%
Other or General Christian – 3%
Jewish – 2%
Other Religions – 6%
Non-Religious – 16%
Refused to answer – 7%

Another dated insult towards Bay stater's is the "Poor driving" insult, which is VERY dated as a recent study showed that Massachusetts actually has some of the better drivers in modern times.

The highest point in Massachusetts is Mount Greylock.

Massachusetts sports teams include Red soxs, Patriots(Although they technically represent New England not Massachusetts) and some other sports teams, but Sports don't really matter in Massachusetts, what does is Education!

Massachusetts contains many high class colleges and university's, Harvard, MIT, and many others.

While the original year it was measured is unknown, its in the records that the man with the worlds longest penis was from Framingham Massachusetts, and no man has beaten the record to this day.

Massachusetts is a very liberal and Democratic state, having been a blue state every year since 1984.

Massachusetts is home to Cape cod and Nantucket, which are of note because they're why it's called the Bay state.

The thing about Massachusetts is that while you can prove a US Stereotype in the south or on the west coast, in Massachusetts trying to see if a stereotype is true will get people angry with you because they'll be able to tell you're trying to see if they'll act stupid for your Canadian Television show and they'll Passive aggressively tell you that they aren't going to get any luck in Massachusetts.

In the end this is probably the longest but most accurate definition of Massachusetts on Urban Dictionary, and by the way, it isn't at all hard to pronounce or spell Massachusetts, Mah-sah-choo-sets, Two S's in Mass, two T's in Setts, An A after Mass, then a Chu, then Setts, it's very easy, if you can't pronounce it then you obviously aren't from Massachusetts.
as in "Obama didn't really need to campaign in Massachusetts after he got past the primary's, he knew they were going to vote for him", "I'm sorry I can't take the Homophobic slurs and abuse anymore, I'm moving to Massachusetts", "Another discovery at the University of Massachusetts today..."

Massachusetts

A state in the Northeast with perhaps the most history in the country (i.e. the American Revolution, the Salem Witch Trials, the Pilgrims) that may have a bad wrap with the rest of the country; we are often referred to as Mass-Holes for our bad driving. It must just be something in the Water.

You know from you're from this state if you pronounce any 'er' word with an 'ah' (i.e. Chowdah, Lobstah); if you can pronounce the toun names Billerica, Worcester, Woburn and Haverhill correctly; you love the Red Sox; You Hate the Yankees with a burning passion; you say things like 'wickhed awesome' a lot; and you think Boston is the best City of the world and should still be the 'Hub' of the World.
Dude, Massachusetts is Awesome.
