[quote=Anonymous][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]

And I will take your pamphlet and throw it in your goddamn smug faces, and DARE you to do something about it.

Who in the HELL do you people think you are? You own nothing--absolutely NOTHING--but your shitty, crumbling, overpriced houses. Stay in your own lane and keep living in the past about how great this place used to be, but you WILL deal with the fact that transplants have come, we are here, some of us will stay, some of us won't, and there isn't a DAMN thing you can do about it.

I will call DC and it's surrounding areas whatever I want, and you won't do anything about it. Ever. Except get on here and complain about it, because that is the extent of your power and influence as a "native".

And this is EXACTLY why I plan to get the hell out of here. My husband has had the upper hand on this for 30 years. Once my youngest is out, so am I, and where to depends on where the kids are. Even if it's still in this area, I will move further out to those heinous exurbs - and even beyond - to get as far away from DC area hell.

The only people native welcome are illegals, and only if they don't settle in precious enclaves so as not to 'pollute' them. It's far better to sit in ivory towers and pat themselves on the back for being so 'broad minded'. [/quote]

Amen.  Because otherwise, the natives would not be able to call this area "diverse".  :vomit:[/quote]
