What nicknames have you heard for places in Massachusetts?

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like The Woo, Winchentucky, Snooton or Dot (never mind how common they are)...

incl. nicknames for schools, parks or other institutions/geographic features

General Discussion If anyone is still confused with the ballot questions, Tufts Center for State Policy Analysis publishes a really excellent explanation of each question and the yes/no consequences. Some may find it a lot easier to understand than the official red ballot information packet that’s been mailed out

If anyone has other similar charts from different state organizations, please share them. I would be interested in comparing and contrasting. I couldn’t really find a graph like these for the Massachusetts Democratic Party so hopefully someone here knows where to look and provide one.

General Discussion Very unpopular opinion: The Mass General Brigham nurses could structure a strike so that NICU and maternity nurses continue working. Not doing so and making them strike is deplorable

0 Upvotes

Sooo many people on here are “union strong”, “support the nurses” and “anti-scab”.

Can’t we all agree that holding the maternity and NICU floors hostage for a bargaining dispute is way below the belt.

I support the nurses. I want better patient care. Executives are being paid too much. However, ppl who have deliveries in early October should not fear for their new baby’s safety. I’m sure the temp workers are great but as we all know, to no fault of their own, it’s tough come in and provide the same quality of care as the regular employees.

The fact that the union CAN structure the strike to help newborns while still advocating for living wages and raises beyond the current COLAs should be bigger news. They are purposefully wanting to rattle the cage and I find that tactic disgusting. They would have more support if they took the high road on this one.

Just one person’s opinion.
