A fork of Rural Dictionary
Rich-ass town located in southern New Hampshire, making up the top left part of the Windham-Pelham-Salem-Atkinson rhombus. Once considered a vacation spot in the area located near Cobbett's Pond (with the rest of the town being agrarian) Windham somehow morphed into an elitist breeding ground in less than a generation. It is now known for its large amounts of yuppies, soccer moms, and Paultards as well as their overly spoiled kids who are frequently seen driving expensive cars down I-93. Aside from the glamour, Windham has a reputation for being quite boring, lacking any commercial area or downtown. A side note: people from Windham pronounce the name of their town as WIND-ham, not WIN-dum. The 'h' is not silent.
Carlie must live in Windham - she got a Ferrari for her sweet 16 birthday. The Sampson family moved to Windham from Newton Mass so they could still enjoy a lavish lifestyle without paying Massachusetts income taxes which, as Ron Paul supporters, they were morally opposed to. Windham residents love their money but sure hate having to spend it to contribute to society. That's why they blow most of it on huge houses with big front lawns the size of football fields, 23432 cars, cruises, vacations, expensive electronics, drugs, and designer clothes for their kids.
Working class town (excluding North Salem, which is ultra-rich) in southern New Hampshire which borders Windham, Pelham, Atkinson, and Methuen, Massachusetts. The town's main attractions are Canobie Lake Park and the Rockingham Mall, both of which are visited far more often by people from Lawrence MA. As well as a mall, there's three main plazas: one with Shaw's, Bob's Discount Furniture, and TJ Maxx; one with Market Basket, Kmart, and Staples; and one with Target, BJ's Wholesale, Marshall's, Home Depot, as well as the last remaining Demoulas supermarket (which basically is Market Basket except it sells imitation brand foods at prices so cheap that anyone from Lawrence can buy them). The town also has a liquor store on the border. Drugs from Lawrence-Methuen-Lowell are rampant and the high school is known to have one of the highest frequencies of drug and alcohol usage amongst high schools in the state.
Salem, NH: if Nashua is New Hampshire's shithole, Salem is the feces.
A large ghetto located in southern New Hampshire. Used to be a pretty kickass center of commerce (e.i. the cotton mill industries) about 150 years ago. That all changed after World War I. One of the few places in the world where white-trash community college dropouts and low-life Latino "gangstas" can coexist in peace.
Modern Nashua is a sad example of its former self. Jim bought cheap LSD off a Brazilian guy who lives in Nashua. I went to eat at the Dunkin Donuts in Nashua and the only person working there who spoke English was the 40-year old welfare mom at the register. To think Nashua used to be Shanghai, now it's a dumping ground for society's rejects.
A pejorative term used to describe the southern region of New Hampshire (sometimes just the region of the state that is south of Manchester and east of Milford including the Merrimack Valley and Seacost) with the notion that it is turning into Massachusetts due to the large number of former Massachusetts residents moving there. The term denotes the idea that Massachusetts residents are causing NH taxes to be raised and a "nanny state" to be formed simply by being there. To much contrast, most Massachusians in NH are far right-wingers who come to NH as tax refugees. A similar phenomenon would be "New Yorkticutt", the notion that the western part of Connecticut has been turned into a mini-New York city by moving there.
Person 1: New Hampshire?! More like MASSAHAMPSHIRE! With all of these Massachusetts people moving here we might as well let Massachusetts annex Rockingham and Hillsborough counties! Person 2: Actually, the Massachusians are the only reason NH is still Republican, dumbass.
The capital of New Hampshire, located 20 miles north of Manchester. Known for its old New England-style elegance, affordable housing (compared to most of the state), French and Greek restaurants, and frequent Free State Project activist activities. It may not be as rich as Windham or Bedford but it sure as hell ain't full of tacky mcmansions. It may not be as exciting as Manchvegas or Boston but it's not a trash-fest like most other New England cities. Also known to many as the halfway point between Boston and the White Mountains.
Concord NH: a sweet blend of class, libertarianism, culture, diversity, intelligence, city, and frontier.
The most beautiful city (or large town) in New Hampshire. A stone throw away from the lakes, an hour away from the mountains, fills up with tourists during the summer and winter months. And it's too far north to be a run-off of Boston like every other city in NH.
Manchester kid: Ooooooo Manch is sooooooo cultural and is the best city in NH! Laconia kid: You've obviously never been up north to Laconia. We pronounce our r's and our city is definitely NOT a haven for trashy bostonian tax refugees.
A town in Rockingham County, southern New Hampshire which is 40% apple orchards, 40% rich neighborhoods that try to copy neighboring Windham, 10% middle to lower-middle class neighborhood,s and 10% ugly strip malls. VERY close to ghettos Salem, Manchester, and Nashua so it's not surprising that lots of drugs find their way into the bedrooms of Londonderry teens. Yes the stereotype that all Windham kids view Londonderry kids as pseudo-rich is true.
Londonderry kid: Wanna hang out? Windham kid: No, I need to get new gas for my boat and test out my new four-wheeler. Londonderry kid: That's okay. At least I can get high at Max Apples.
