Don't think he has much of a case, considering he hasn't previously opposed the use of "Spike" by Spike Jonze (as a Movie Director, I might add), Elvis Costello (album title), Joan Rivers' little yippy annoying dog or with the aforementioned cat penises (or is it peni?)...

I never knew cats had spikes on their penises. I named my cat Spike because of his ability when he was a little kitten to spike a little ball like a volleyball. (of course he hasn't done that for about ten years or so) - so now his name has a whole new meaning.

Not according to this website or my understanding of the term. It's much more about towns directly around Boston. Worcester is the outer limits at best.

Uh, sorry, I didn't realize that "Massholes" was an accepted term of art. I thought that paigow had just cleverly made it up. That post back there is moot (or as Joey from Friends would say, it's moo.) :blush:

(To be fair, the website you cite includes Wooostah in its heading as one of the meccas of Massholery.)

On another note, someone parked in my space. Who parks in someone's space on a rainy day?

Someone once did this to me - I parked sideways behind them and my neighbor-friend (with consent). Eventually, when the illegal-parker wanted to leave, they had to knock on my door and ask me to move, which took a while because I was on the phone and had to look for my car keys while they waited on the doorstep. This person, a frequent visitor to my complex, never parked in my space again. Note: this only works if you have limited concern for your car.

No dtb, your post was right on. I didn't read this website but I know what a masshole is when I hear and see one, and you described them well. Northeastern university is full of them and I visualize Jimmy Fallon's Sully as someone who woud go there.

For some reasno my best friend from hs went to Northeastern (reason being he was too lazy to study in high school and probably could not have gotten into any oterfour year school). So I got to spend lots of time smoking dope with massholes in my friend's dorm. they would kind of freak me out. they are definitely their own strain of human. I can remember there was a fire drill once and ths masshole went berserk. He started pounding on the dohm doah to be let in the building saying "I spend three thousand a yeah (or whatever it was) to live heah, so you bettah let me back in. its wicked cold out heah" My friend and I were so flipped by this bizarre display we had to go to Stoah Twenty Foah to get away from him.

I think also that the name lends itself nicely to the encapsulation of a certain "type" (satirized on SNL -- see below) with that [to my ears, anyway, unbelievably grating] townie accent.

Easy. The Valley girl accent taken to absurd extremes by the first generation asian immigrant daguther who is trying to fit in. Like, ohMyGawd!
This of course is not a dehumanzing comment.

The Boston accent and the deep south accent where you want to hit the fast forward button on the drawler are pretty irritating.

I strongly dislike southern accents of any kind.

I also hate the yelling and screaming and purposefully mispronounced speech often associated with ebonics.

The same, arguably, could be said of you. And there's nothing wrong with a little diversity in the world.

Yelling and screaming . . . often associated with ebonics?

Exactly what is that supposed to mean?

Boston. They manage to sound pretentious and retahded at the same time.
