72. Flatlanders

Is there an equivalent for cidiots in Maine? Yes there is! In fact, Mainers have their own dictionary of phrases I was excited to learn on our two-week vacation. It got me thinking about doing nothing and doing everything. I'll share my update on our to-do list and Robinson Greig sends in an update from Greig Farm.

My favorite Mainer phrases:

  • "From Away" - from somewhere elsewhere than Maine
  • "Flatlander" - someone raised at low altitude
  • "Happier than a clam at high tide" - happy
  • "Tighter than a bark on a tree" - tight
  • "All stove to hell" - in bad shape
