Definition

The area code for eastern Massachusetts, covering everything from Cape Cod to Worcester. It's the numerical badge of honor for anyone who wants you to know they're from the less-Boston part of the Bay State. Think cranberry bogs, beaches, and people who are tired of everyone assuming Massachusetts means Boston.

Example Usage

"Yeah, I'm from Mass, but I'm 508, not 617—totally different vibe."
