I'm from MA as well, but I've never taken the word personally because I'm not one--I am courteous and thoughtful and do my best to not fit into the definition, which is all it really is.
That being said, I've gotta admit that as a NH resident these last eight years, I've seen a lot of behaviors from NY and MA people that help me understand the labels. That is NOT to say there aren't NH people who do the same things, but I think humans tend to be more critical of foreigners of any type.
