The Bangor Daily News compiled a list of some good Maine words:

Some of the words are New England words or old fashioned words but others are specific to Maine only. My girlfriend lives in Maine, I grew up in Mass so it took me a little while to learn all of the meanings of the funny Maine words that she uses.
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."
