Mainer
Pine Tree stater
A Mainer is a person from Maine, the northeastern U.S. state.
The term carries connotations of rugged self-reliance, dry wit, and connection to the sea or woods: The old Mainer had been lobstering for fifty years.
Some distinguish between native Mainers and those "from away" who moved there later.
