[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live 8 miles outside the city and when I travel to other parts of the world and someone asks where I’m from, I say “DC”.  Because in every other city in the country, that’s the way it is and I won’t cater to DC weirdness about it .[/quote] But you live in a whole different state, not a different city. I don’t get what’s so hard about saying - I’m from Maryland. Or - I’m from Virginia. [/quote]

This is so flipping stupid. Do you think Maryland or Virginia actually means anything to someone in Brussels or Ouagadougou or Saigon?

No, but Washington DC does. I’m a native and this is a stupid *ss hill to die on.[/quote] I'm the person quoted. I'm just having an internet conversation; this is not a "hill to die on" for me. So let's say you live in Idhao. If you're visiting Brussels and someone asks you where you live, what do you say? [/quote]

That's not a great example because Idaho is a rural state.  A more analogous example would be telling the person you meet in Brussels that you live in LA even though you actually live in Anaheim.  [/quote]

Not really, since people are more likely to also know Anaheim due to Disney. It's like living in Dominguez Hills or Carson and saying LA since nobody is likely to know whether Carson is 4 miles outside of LA or 4 miles outside of Eureka.[/quote]
