Boston is my home and I'm proud of the way I was taught to drive. Sounds like something a 'Masshole' would say, right? You are absolutely correct! It was just announced 'Masshole' is now being officially recognized as a word by the OED (Oxford English Dictionary.)

Masshole (n., 1989): term of contempt for a native or inhabitant of the state of Massachusetts. This is what is known as a blended word, which Lewis Carroll called portmanteaus, naming them after a suitcase that unfolds into two equal parts.
