Stand In The Place Where You Live

So we have Mainers, Vermonteers, New Hampshirites, New Yorkers, and Pennsylvanians. What is the correct designation for a person who lives in Massachusetts, other than a "Masshole?"

Bay Staters. Massachusetts is actually a Commonwealth, but let that pass, because 'Commonwealthies' sounds really stupid.

Yes, and "Commonwealthies" sounds doubly stupid because there are other Commonwealths.

Bay Staters isn't quite it. That's a nickname, like Hoosiers or Tar Heels. Yet I've never heard anybody say "Massachusetters" or anything like that. If I had to coin one, I'd go for "Massachucians." Sounds all ritzy n'stuff.

Yeah, Pennsylvania's a Commonwealth too.
