DC residents are everywhere in VA malls and grocery stores. They are so annoying with their nasty attitudes.

How can you tell we're from DC? Our cars are outside but our attitudes are inside?

Yes. Easily identified by the attitude, dialect and clothing.

??Dialect?? Is this code for something?

Please explain the differences in dialect between DC and Northern Virginia, lol.

Is this a serious question?

Maybe some of the differences in accents has faded a bit in the last decade, but no one disputes that there are distinctive Maryland, DC and VA accents.

And Northern Virginia, Montgomery and PG all have the same DC regional accent. Baltimore and Southern Virginia are different regions. The old DC area accent is mostly gone though.

DC and PG county have similar accents. I heard the DC dialect recently and can report it is alive and well.

Northern VA is nowhere near those.

Ah, it was just a crude racial comment. It all makes sense now.

The PG County accent is distinct from Moco and also distinct from DC.

Virginia also does not have just one accent. Accents in Virginia Beach, Richmond, Appalachia and Shenandoah Valley are different and each can bleed into NOVA. There is also a separate and distinct NOVA accent that is fading away, but Senator Chuck Robb was a good representative as someone that grew up in Fairfax.

No, it was an additional response stemming from a question of how to identify DC residents inside of a store. Their dialect is distinctly DC and yes, many people who live in PG county are from DC originally so they have the same/similar accents and dialect.

There was no value assessment of the dialect, either positive or negative. Now whatever crude racial assignment you put on that statement is yours to own.

Bullcrap. You just don't like being called out on it and are being defensive.

Ted Lerner was the last public figure that had our regional accent. It pretty much died out due to the massive growth of the federal government from WW2-Vietnam. The Silent Generation people I knew that were native to Arlington, MoCo and DC all had the same accent. The Gen X natives I grew up with from Arlington, Fairfax, DC, Moco and PG all have the same, now different, accent.

If you're talking about local turns of phrase then, to be clear, even native northern Virginians, of a certain age, know what bama and trifling mean.

All of this is moot because over half the region is filled with transplants now.

I'm not being defensive at all. Point out where there was any negative attributes about the accent or dialect. You seem to be the defensive one. I can guarantee you that someone in Arlington doesn't sound anything like someone from DC.
