"Winnipesaukee and Piscataqua:

“People new to the New Hampshire area come in contact with a ton of words they can’t pronounce. Here’s a hint, say it like it looks, if you get it wrong, a New Hampshirite is probably too nice to make fun of you for it and they’ll teach you how to say it correctly.''
