[quote=Anonymous]It’s just a function of not wanting to explain yourself. I grew up in Bethesda, now I live in NYC. I lived in Philadelphia before that. When someone asks where I’m from as part of casual conversation, I say some variation of “the DC suburbs - the MD side.” If it’s someone familiar with the DC area I say Bethesda. When I’m out of town (not in DC or NYC) and someone casually asks where I’m from I say NYC. I’m an adult, I live in NYC, and that’s the context I’m looking for when I ask the question. If they asked where I grew up I’d say MD. I’m not sure if you consider this lying or not, but it’s just based on context and what makes sense to say. I don’t think people from Duluth or wherever are embarrassed about their origins, it’s literally just easier to say DC if that’s where they live.[/quote]
