Just what defines a Flatlander

Real New Hamphireites drink "Tonic"... Ya, don't even try to make scenes of this one either... My wife's families were the original settlers of Hampton and being true New Hampshiretes they don't mind setting you straight on the proper enunciation of terms. Coming from Vermont, where we don't have an accent, I find this a bit odd.

You’d think after forty-seven years I would have developed some sort of acceptance of the language over here, but, it still glares in my ears.
