[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever Annapolis lacks in dialect, Glen Burnie, Pasadena (AKA Dirty ‘Dena), Odenton, Gambrills, Crownsville, Edge”Wooder” and others more than compensate.

Sorry, no. Odenton and Gambrills aren't lumped into this group, people in this area don't "warsh their clothes in the wooder." [/quote]

I was gonna say. Odenton and Gambrills are very much DC suburbs in Anne Arundel County. It feels more like a part of Montgomery County there. Same with Crofton. [/quote]

More Bawlmer than DC.  Sure, they all take the MARC into DC for work, but the vibe is definitely more Glen Burnie and Pasadena.  Lots of purple camo on when the Ravens are playing.[/quote]

No, not really Odenton, Crofton, and Gambrills  boomed during a completely different time period than Glen Burnie and Pasadena did. Glen Burnie and Pasadena are some of the oldest suburbs in Anne Arundel County and they are pure Baltimore suburbs. The former areas were nothing but farms until the 70s and took off during building booms in the 90s and 2000s. The rednecks you see in Glen Burnie and Pasadena come from Baltimore white flight. The rednecks you see in an area like Crofton or Odenton are more like white flight from Bowie, Greenbelt, Lanham, etc.

And to be honest, these areas feel less redneck than Olney, Poolesville, and Damascus.
