[quote=Anonymous]As a long-time resident of PG County, my experience is that it is based on colloquial usage from years ago. Many years ago (like 20-30 years ago), people used to use PG derogatively. It wasn't uncommon for people to say "That's so PG" when they meant "That's so ghetto", "That's so trashy" or even worse, "That's so black". This was back in the 70's and 80's. In the 90's and early 2000's there was a concerted effort to refer to the County as Prince George's County to try and get away from the PG/trashy references. It's less of any issue now and I don't hear those types of comments anymore, but there was a reason for it.[/quote]
