I have not known anyone to call someone a flatlander to there face in a way to make them feel bad.

This IS an interesting thread. I always wondered what the definition of a flatlander actually was. I think to me it is someone who lives south of us and as Sam said it can be in NH, but I think generally it would be very southern NH, where most of the people were from Mass. originally. And yet, I don't think people from NJ, NY, PA. etc are flatlanders, so it seems mostly to be New England. Or not?? It was always mostly a joke with us, living on the lake we always had lots of friends from south of us. But then there were those other flatlanders that weren't so nice----

The one thing I really don't like is those (mentioned by others here) who MOVE here because they like a way it is, and then take over and change it. They act like they know more than we natives do. They spoil our towns.
