No. Mumbo sauce is a Georgia Avenue/HU thing, so EOTP (at least to start in DC) but not EOTR.

Sigh. It is Mambo sauce!

No, it’s either/or.

I know some folks are trying to make DMV happen, but I don't love it. We need something better.

The only people trying to keep "DMV" in use are MD/VA suburbanites who want to pretend that working in DC while commuting from Arlington/Bethesda/Fairfax (Fairfax, lmao) is somehow equivalent to living in the District. Nope, nope, nope! When I hear someone say "I live in the DMV" I mentally translate to, "I'm a bridge-and-tunnel type, but think I can pass as an urbanite."

I'm the poster you quoted above. I don't know anyone who says they're from the 'DMV'. Usually, when I hear the term used, it's because someone is referencing the region and not trying to fool anyone into thinking they live in DC proper when they don't. I couldn't care less anyway.

I don't like DMV, because it's what most people call the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Really sick of transplants insisting those of us who have lived here for generations are somehow using the wrong terminology.

Oh get over yourself.

Hey PP, go back to NYC--oh yeah you won't b/c it SUX now.

Does that make EOTR the only valid part of DC? I would call any residential area or smaller businesses as being in DC, and anything govt or big business Washington. Yes, I have been in both, but I tend to stay between the rivers.

Another 3rd generation native here. I could have written this post word for word. Exactly my experience.

Go away, MAGA. Sorry you can’t afford to live in Manhattan. I love it there; I’m only here for my job.

Damn, better tell that to the 8.4 million people who live there. Better also tell that to the real estate market, which is constantly ridiculously expensive, especially in Manhattan.
