Tell Me You Are From New Hampshire in Two Words
There are so many positives about living in New Hampshire, and so many negatives to living elsewhere.
That's the general sentiment of the people who took to a recent Facebook post to shout out what they loved or didn't love in New England.
New Hampshire residents chimed in by the hundreds, as the challenge was thrown down by Live Free or Die603BORN community page.
Naturally, most of the comments were from people in New England, predominantly from the Granite State. In fact, the directive was, "Tell me what state you are from with two words".
This was an easy task, so the words came in full throttle. For those who live or are from New Hampshire, these were the top comments. See if you agree.

All of these answers are accurate if you live in New Hampshire, but perhaps the most accurate were the two words described for other New England states.
Those who didn't understand the assignment were from nearby Connecticut (Nutmeg State), or Massachusetts (high taxes, Massholes, wicked pissah, baked beans), Vermont (Green Mountain), or Maine (lobster & lumber, lobster & blueberries).
Interesting how two words describe an entire state, but it seems Granite Staters know exactly what makes New Hampshire home... and famous.
