MASS-Holes 

A contemptuous term for people from the state of Massachusetts. Of course it comes from the words 'MASSachusetts' + 'ASSholes'. Sometimes it's used chiefly for the people of the Greater Boston Area (Lexington, Concord, Boston itself, Salem, etc. And some people just narrow it down to Bostonians themselves.
1. In 2019 I took a very long but much-needed vacation to cities and sites I had never been to before. I visited Ottawa and Quebec City, drove thru Quebec Province and reentered the USA via Maine. I drove extensively thru every state in New England that I hadn't been thru before. Part of that was the American Revolution Minuteman Park at Lexington and Concord . After eating a filling, delicious meal of clam 'chowdah', I got into my 'cah' and explored Boston all afternoon and early evening. Driving there is CRAZY. My tour book warned about 'MASS-holes' but the real problem is the constant flow of traffic. You DO get to see a lot, however. It's fun.
2. During my 2019 vacation BION 'MASS-hole' drivers weren't the rudest ones that I had to deal with. It was the drivers in Providence, Rhode Island who were bigger assholes than the 'MASS-holes'. Driving in Boston is wild and wooly but it wasn't anywhere as it wad in Providence. They are rude!
3. After my adventures in Rhode Island and Connecticut, I reentered Massachusetts and visited the Dr. Seuss Museum and Sculpture Garden (salute to my youth) in Springfield. Driving there was easy, no 'MASS-hole' drivers.
4. Last year the racist militia shits and disciples of the Cult of Donnie Traitor Douchebag TrashTrumpChump were fucking off at Boston Common for 'freedumb' rallies, spreading the virus, endangering children, acting like the shit heads they are - they were WORSE than any MASS-holes could ever be.

masshole merge

That guy tried the masshole merge and got himself an ass full of Peterbuilt
Any Massachusetts driver who abides by the driving rules of Massachusetts highways (128, 93, 495, 3, and the Pike, but not West of Worcester). These rules are:

1) Never use your blinker.
2) If you want to change lanes, wait until there is someone to cut off
3) The speed limit is a guideline; it is the bare minimum you should go. Ideally, you should be going about 25-30 mph above it
4) No U-Turn signs are just a suggestion, you can bang a U-ie wherever you damn well please
5) Tailgating is mandatory if there is any traffic at all
6) One hand on the wheel, one hand on the horn
7) If you see someone with a Yankees sticker, ride up even closer on their tail
8) Change lanes frequently

A Masshole isn't a shitty driver. He may piss you off, but he ultimately gets there faster and without crashing. It's an acquired skill

He also is probably smarter than anyone from any other state, and yet still can drink like a true Irishman

The Masshole test is simple. Go down Route 3 from Braintree to the Sagamore Bridge. If you do it in under 30 minutes, you're a Masshole
Me: I made it from Boston to Hyannis in under an hour

Someone else: Dude, you're such a fuckin' Masshole
