If you stay on the same road long enough it eventually has three
different names
-This is true in a lot of places, even Orlando.

All the potholes just add to the excitement of driving
-I wouldn't say they add to the "excitement of driving". We had more than our fair share of potholes in Maine.

Six inches of snow is considered a dusting
-Come on... 6 inches was always considered more than a dusting in Maine.

Three days of 90 degree heat is definately a "heat wave" 63 degrees is "on the warm side"
-Agreed.

At the ice cream shop you call chocolate sprinkles "jimmies"
-That's what I've always called them....more specifically I'd call them chocolate jimmies. There are also rainbow jimmies.

You know how to pronounce towns like Worcester, Haverhill, and
Leominster
-Yeah...and I've never lived there. I even know how to say "Waltham".

You know what they sell at a "packie!
-Is this similar to packie stores...as in liquor stores?

You have never been to Cheers
-This is true.

You keep an ice scraper in your car all year round
-Yes... in fact we've been living in Orlando for three years and we still keep a scraper and a brush in the trunk.

You know what "regular coffee" is!
-Who doesn't?

When someone calls you a "masshole" you take it as a compliment
-No, that would be an insult. "Masshole" is a term that Maine-ahs use to describe anyone who drives like a complete moron and also has Mass plates.

You use the words "wicked" and "good" in the same sentence, and often in the same compound-adjective
-Sure... I still do that.

You know what a frappe is
-Yup

You drink tonic and would never consider using it on your hair
-Yeah, but usually I drink soda.

You can drive to the mountains and the ocean all in one day
-This is true in Maine too.
