[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cant stand all you transplants - your lingo is the dead give away.  I don't know anyone actually from hear who over and over and over wants to talk about people from "the district" or "DC proper" versus "the burbs." nobody here uses these phrases that I've ever known.

We talk more like this:

I'm from the DC or I'm from the DC area.  Really, me too - where did you go to high school?  Oh, did you know ____?  Where are you living now?  Oh, blah blah blah.

We say "inside the beltway" or "outside the beltway."  We never say "burbs."

We do sometimes say "exburbs" though, particularly for Loudoun County.  Frederick is just "fredneck" or for some "Urbana."  Howard is just Howard.    [/quote]

x2.  They should write this in a pamphlet for transplants to read so they all don't sound so goddam provincial and annoying.[/quote]

How welcoming of you.  :sarcasm:  :shock: [/quote]

I don't think it was supposed to be welcoming... [/quote]
