Like Masshole*. Hmmmm....speaking of slang words which have stayed in use, I would assume "wicked" is one..? Living in Mass now you should start picking it up and using it without noticing.

And if you move to the mountains, Flatlander and Masshole are used interchangeably. Lets hope some of the slang we use today goes the way of the dodo. Like Masshole*.
