[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“The DMV” is part of black vernacular.

WV is literally one of the whitest states in the country.

So no, not part of the DMV. No soul.[/quote]

When was this coined? DC Native and did not ever hear until maybe 5-10 years ago. I am in my 40s.

I am from actual DC, so I didn't really even know the difference between MD and VA until I went to UVa.

Sorry not sorry. [/quote]

You were just out of the loop, Dear. 
Fellow DC native, 4 generations, and I've known of the DMV since the 90s.
Go-Go bands always referenced the DMV in songs and it wasn't just 5-10 years ago LMAO

NP: Well "Dear", born and raised in Montgomery County, went to HS in DC, went to College Park for college. Children born at G'Town. I've been around for 56 years so yeah, I am a NATIVE. It was never ever called DMV ever. That is actually Dept of Motor Vehicles. It wasn't until the last few years on DCUM did I start to see this reference and at first I really did think they were referencing motor vehicles.  It was always called "the DC area" [/quote]

You’re not a DC native if you were born and raised in MoCo. Not seeing the point of you pointing it out.

The DMV (DC, MD, VA) has been a thing since at least the late 90s/ early 00s. I remember hearing radio DJs refer to the region as the DMV and I haven’t listened to the radio since that time.

Washingtonian wrote an article about the DMV origins in 2015 and you know it’s old news by the time they get it.

NP. Lots of vague recollections but nothing solid.
It is certainly called the DMV now. [/quote]
