[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are all these people calling this area the DMV. Do you know what that means?[/quote]

District Maryland Virginia...very commonly called DMV[/quote]
Only by transplants and not natives.[/quote]

Exactly[/quote]

The same people that say the “DMV” also call National Airport “Reagan Airport.”  Yes, I judge them.[/quote]

Thank you for judging. I judge them as well.[/quote]

Anybody who raised kids playing sports --- especially basketball --- in this area knows that everybody -- players, coaches, media -- talks about DMV sports.  For basketball specificallly, this is because DC, PG county and NOVA collectively have several of the best high school teams in the country (Paul IV in Chantilly, DeMatha in Hyattsville, St. John's, Gonzaga, Wilson and maybe Sidwell in DC).    A prominent Web site that covers these and other local teams is DMVElite.com.  NBC Sports publishes the DMV Top 20.  PrepGirlsHoops publishes the DMV Power Rankings.  The nationally famous DC Assault club (now DC Premier) where NBA players like Michael Beasley, Rodney White and Keith Bogans played has a tag line "renowned nationally, iconic in the DMV."

The notion that DMV is something "only used by transplants" sounds like something invented by the kind of people who live in Bethesda and say they are from DC.
