I have no idea where that thought even came from because I am a native and I can tell you that everyone I know appreciates people who have the kind of values that you seem to have.
I know it sounds crazy in this day and age,but there are people you may deal with whose word is their bond.Many old "timers" need only a handshake to make a deal.
Wishing you much happiness in your new home.

It was said with a little tongue in cheek, but it came from my grandparents who moved to Center Sandwich from Melrose Mass back in the 50's. Maybe not so much is made of it today with the heavy influx of folks from Mass these past several decades. Also, it wasn't a derogatory term, it was just a way in which natives classified some people. Rarely spoken, but in mind.
