Throwing the word flatlander around in NH in the 60s & 70s had more of a bite to it when there were 700,000 folks in the whole state, and most of them were born here.....now, not so much. Over 50% of NH residents are from away these days, and there's over 1.3 million people up here. Today flantlander is used as more of a joke, or in a good-natured manner from my experience.
